Description
The 6 Mile single track is a blast and has about 110 feet of climbing with enough short (but demanding) technical rock sections. Be ready to dismount few times on your first ride. It might seem short in lenght but it will take longer than you think; it gets more fun everytime you ride it. The loop runs one way which is clearly marked at the trailhead. The track was originary for Motorcycles that can still be ridden (be aware of them).

Review: The trail was very technical and demanding. I did find myself dismounting and walking up some rocky sections, which is expected because it is for motorcycles. The "Main Loop" consisted of a lot of rocky sections. There were a lot of significant drops, some I rode down others I didnt. There arent many sections where you can really open it up and take on corners. I had a bunch of "ah heck" moments, but it was just my skills being put to the test. The drive is about 50 minutes away and I will definitely be returning there in the near future. I highly recommend this to people in the surrounding Austin area, very worthy of your time.

Review: Favorite place for a quick ride near the city. Definitely a technical challenge with some serious drops, so if you're new to the trail be overly cautious and prepared to walk a few sections; no shame in hike-a-biking the gnarly stuff your first time around. That said, it's a blast to ride here and I wish we had more trails like it. Most of the trail is tight, rocky, up-and-down single-track through the trees. It feels refreshingly remote, save a few places where you have a nice view of the surrounding hills or where the trail nears the road and you might hear a car or two. Enjoy it!

Review: Loved the rocky drops! Demanding and fun!
Review: Found this trail last second and decided to ride it when I was in town. It was tough to find the trail at first. Once I found the Main loop it was a blast. Very techincal!! I think this is the best trail I have ridden in Texas so far and wish there were more trails like it. I wish I had my drop post on the bike for this ride, I'll have it next time.
Review: This is the most difficult trail I've ridden in Austin.
Review: Best riding I've found in the Austin area. Very challenging and technical terrain, not a place to bring beginners (or your wife). My personal opinion is that this trail screams for an adjustable height seatpost (like the Joplin R). It has made this already awesome trail, much more fun to rip.
Review: The best trails in Texas! Not for the mtb'er who does not have technical skills.
Review: Best trail in Texas! Love this place, and even though it is short, it is technical enough to keep you busy.
Review: Fun, relatively short but technically challenging loop. Sections are very puzzle like, as in it took me several tries to figure out a workable series of lines for a few sections.
Review: Not for the faint of heart, this is by far the most challenging trial I've found in Austin. Seemingly never-ending rock stairways, ledges, roots, climbs, you name it, its here. I love this trail, but wouldn't recommend it to the inexperienced, there are a lot of ways to hurt yourself here if you're not careful.
Review: I'd use FS no question. Not for beginners. Great challenge in town.
Review: I didn't like that there were so many moto-cross rutts. It made the ride too rough.
Review: Also known as "City Park".
Review: Sweetest singletrack in the Austin area hands down. Very technically challenging. Not for beginners.
Review: Fun trail. Like the person who submitted the trail said, some good loose/rocky climbs/decents with a good grade. Be sure to bring your climbing legs and a granny gear or two. If you are not in some form of shape, you will be pushing your bike up the climbs.
Review: Difficult. Six mile loop with technical rocky ledgy drops and climbs mixed with a bit of fast twisty hard pack. It's challenging - probably one of the most technical trails in Texas - but it's also a ton of fun.
