Description: Knob Hill is an easy ride. Other than a short technical area at the West end of the trail, it is an easy ride and inexperienced riders will do well here. The 10+ mile trip out and back takes about an 45 mins. DORBA (Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association) seems to do a good job of maintaining the trial, and there are a few short-cuts that have been closed to help maintain the trail. – Remember to stay on open trails to keep the trails open – Trail maps are available at local bike shops. This is an Army Corps of Engineers area used as a floodplain for heavy rainfall runoff. If there is rain in the area or if it has rained in the past day or so, the trail may be closed.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Great place! Much more scenic than i had anticipated. More challenging ride the first several miles in with some nice straight-aways to really open it up. Went through with my 8 year old and she made it through most of the hard stuff too. Don't let her age fool you she is a better rider than some adults I know... Will be back for sure. Didn't get any flats but many thorns and catucuses. Going to convert to "getto tubless" before I come back first.

This trail is great if your not the first one on it. I went through atleast 100 spiders. The trail said closed but by the looks of it had been used often. This is a great ride through woods and old creek beds and then opens up on grapevine lake marsh land. Watch out for logs in trail. Not much elevation change and you can fly down the singletrack.

I liked this trail. There are lots of trees and elevation change. The trail was pretty busy with riders and hikers. When I rode this trail last Spring there were wildflowers everywhere. It was so colorful and the smell was great.
