This trail is a nice 10 mile loop. It is fun, and fast but be ready for the inclines!

Love this trail. Rode it on a single sped for the first time, great workout. Good flow and pretty scenery.

Rode this trail last Tuesday and had to bolt early because of time. Wish I'd had more time to ride the whole thing. Great woodsy scenery similar to Huntsville S.P. but with a lot more climbs and downhills. I was really getting into a series of downhills when I caught some soft sand in a turn going between 2 trees. My right hand and handlebar hit one of the trees and sent me into a ninja roll into the brush - it was awesome!!!

I'll chime in to acknowledge what the immediate prior member said--FUN !! I too have ridden this once, a few years ago or more after the Beauty and the Beast Road Ride in Tyler. This is the most FLOW of any singletrack in Texas. With RockyHillRanch being 2d. I really wish I lived closer than 175++ miles away. I remember it's a series of loops all being totally rideable--one with spectacular scenery and a nice series of challenging switchbacks. I'm going to rate it easy just because only Double Lake, Huntsville and San Angelo may be easier. A near handful of trails that don't have all the ledgy features that our trails are noted for--in other words, though there might be switchbacks and climbing, the tech factor is greatly reduced.

Not being anywhere near Tyler, I have only ridden this trail once. However, it was a very impressive experience. Lots of swooping singletrack through pine forest. Lots of rooty switchbacks. Lots of lung busting climbing, and some technical desents. I don't experience a lot of elevation change at my local trails, so this trail proved to be a really fun challenge. It is certainly worth the drive from Dallas or Shreveport because of the excellent singletrack plus they have great camping facilities and an excellent lake with a sand beach to make it a weekend.

Since this trail is in my hometown I have ridden in often over the past year. The state park recently made some "improvements" which so far have lightened the technical portions on loop B, however the trail is in fairly good shape. A is a good trail for beginners with some climbs, loose rocks, and some fun downhill action. B loop adds a good level of difficulty and requires some endurance. C and D take the difficulty to the next level with lots of swichbacks, a more narrow track to about 1foot, and roots over 8 inches high. A great test of your endurance and skill.

trail is well maintained and very accessable. All trails loop right back to the parking lot and are well marked with direction/distance/ difficulty. Has something for everyone.
