We rode this trail Saturday. We parked at the trailhead in Mineral Wells after driving three hours. The goal was to change in the advertised restrooms, fill up water, and head east to Weatherford. We were disappointed to find the restrooms locked, but adapted and changed in the truck instead. The first several miles were paved. The trail became crushed gravel at the state park pay station. We rode a little further east from the pay station to find a bridge blocked off due to structural damage. We discussed how odd it was that there was not any info about the bridge at the pay station that wanted $7.00 a person to ride, and continued on by hiking the bike down through the creek and around the broken bridge. A little further on we found ourselves fenced in and facing a huge washout. We could either get the bike across the washout or head back out past the broken bridge. We chose to go forward and get the bike across the washout. I am glad we did because a little further down the trail we came upon a beautiful steel girder bridge over a clear creek! We spent a little time enjoying the few and hit the trail again. Imagine our dismay when we came to some orange cones and barrels with in the trail near the Vietnam War Museum. After talking to the museum docent, we discovered that the trail has been “closed” for a while on the section we hiked/carried our bike over. We would have gone around had there been any information anywhere, although getting through the broken sections wasn’t a big challenge at all. After visiting the museum, we continued east. The trail is in ok shape with multiple soft areas that might cause a fall. Also, the only water was found on the Weatherford side, although the maps showed more locations for water. All in all, it was a fun one way ride. We chose to return by highway to the Mineral Wells trailhead to avoid soft spots, ginormous holes, and broken bridges. If you decide the ride, the Crazy Water Hotel is a fun place to stay. Don’t miss the Vietnam War Museum, either!
Excellent bike trail for first time riders. Just over 6 miles total when you do the loop is perfect! Plenty of room for bikers and walkers. Nice scenery. Saw several different birds, turtles and a snake.
Not much to look at if that is your thing.
If you start this trail at the Milby Park trailhead, it will continue, unbroken for more than 20miles one way. The current map is outdated and incomplete. The trail is great, always with a breeze as it runs along the bayou with gentle slopes sing lots of flora and fauna along the way. The only confusion is where you must cross over into the other side before Scott St.
Drove up to the Farmersville trailhead and left from the Onion Shed. Lots of cracked pavement for the first segment (~1 mile). Good concrete segment for next mile or so. Then it’s crushed granite with some washout in sections. Turned around after ~5 miles at FM2149 as trail surface was crushed gravel and very rough ride.
Egret Bay has the best section, 96 (League City Parkway) will soon have more bike paths. Hopefully more to come!
Great paved trail very rideable on an e-bike. The switchback wooden ramps are outstanding! The downtown area of Goliad is worth the visit!
Trail is not 11 miles long only 1.27-miles. Please correct this.
