Description: At the bridge head South East or inside the loop...the ride will take you all the way to West Avenue. Under Huebner, Blanco and into Walker Ranch Park...then you take the outer loop around Walker Ranch and ride through the Retention Easment (cross through the fence) back in at the bride near Vista Del Norte and then you are repeating trail...There is also alot of trail North of 1604 on Salado Creek as well.

Entered through the south side of the trial via the Wurzback site which I find is more difficuld because most of the way is UP-hill. Nice track, Rocky at some points, some portions very fast. Ended up on Bitters Road. Going to try the other way next time. Portions of this track is not recommended fo beginners.

There are No Trepass signs up where you would start you ride for riding at the Salado Creek Greenbelt park. :o(

Start at the elementary school for your first time on this trail. It's easy to take a wrong turn if you start at Walker Ranch. You can enter the trail at the north end of the school's fence. Take the 4x4 trail down the hill, and directly after the first crossing 4x4 trail look 45 degrees to the right for the MTB trail head. You can also go left at this 4x4 trail and left again to go under the bridge towards the north section of the trail. It's pretty flat, but still a little technical and very fast. The section north of the 1604 bridge is newer and well designed. Salado Creek is a great local option if you're bored of McAllister Park.

We were invited by Jason, the Senior Service Manager from BikeWorld 1604 to join the BikeWorld team to try out this trail. Wow, it has a lot to offer. Quite a bit of rocky technical spots. I love the winding fast trails among the trees in the beginning. Jason and his gang were strong riders and it was hard to keep up being on this trail the first time. We are looking to go back again this weekend and ride some more. Good shade coverage overall, I assume the coverage will be much better in the spring compare to the winter. Bring water and prepare to stop for some of those technical climbs, drops, and rock ledges to ride over... This is definitely a combination of Government Canyon, the front section of OP and parts of Mac. Oh, we parked in the Blattman Elementary School‎ parking lot on Sunday morning and dropped into the trail from there. I heard there are other ways to get on the trail. But this is the only way I know right now.
