Review: Great trail. Get into the riverbottom and its moderate technical. Twards 1604 freeway, its smooths out and is a little more flowy. Flat and hardly any climbs. Ride it with someone that knows this trail, the good spots can be hard to find and the trail is not mapped. Great trail in the heart of San Antonio.

Review: Rode the whole trail without having to get off my bike. Some of the best parts are near the creek bed wall with tight tech trail, not marked we'll and hard to follow. Good exploring trail I guess

Review: Great trail in town. Probably best techy trail in San Antone!! Not much as far as climbs but super rocky. This is a must ride in this town and is my personal favorite.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
