Description: This ride is an eight mile loop in the Sam Houston National Forest. It is a easy ride all single-track around the lake and camping area. This is marked a bike trail but you do get some hikers sometimes. The trail is best run counter- clockwise and has some gentle hills and valleys. It is all in the woods and can be fast for more advanced riders( my PR is 45 minutes. If you camp you can make a weekend out of this. I usually make a couple laps in the morning, swim and fish in the afternoon then take another lap before dinner. There are showers and bathrooms and a great swimming area. This is a great place to take the family and begining mountain bikers.

I have been there a couple times this year and they have added 12 or so miles ontop of the 8 it used to be. there are some fun spots and little dirt hills to jump. very nice and well maintained

I ride this trail quite often but only because it is close to the house. Trail is pretty lame. Good trail for beginners. Just singletrack, nothing technical or even exciting. Better place for a workout than riding pavement. To make it fun I time myself and try to beat my fastest time.

We rode this trail in about 95 degree weather and it was still enjoyable. Easy trail with some downhill parts. I really recommend giving this trail a try.

Fast and fun trail for beginners. more experienced riders can get a decent workout here. The new 12 miles they have added make this trail worth the trip from Houston. I would recommend bringing lunch and doing the loop twice if you are looking for a decent workout.

Fun trail for a beginner, relaxing with a couple sharp turns.
