Mountain Bike Trails in Austin, Texas


Barton Creek Greenbelt:


One long major trail.  Lots of undocumented stuff.  Several shallow creek
crossings (be prepared to get your feet wet, or ruin your bottom bracket.;)

Maps available from local shops (REI, & bike shops), and at trailheads.  

My starting points: Zilker Park, Hwy. 360 trailhead.  About 7miles from
Zilker to 360.

Emma Long City Park Motocross trails:


One loop about 5 miles long, with a cross-cut in the middle making a loop
of about 3 miles.  Several undocumented offshoots.

Lots of loose rocks (got my first non-road flat here)

Somewhat hard to find, but if you get on the right road, you can't miss
the big sign.  ;-)

Bull Creek Greenbelt:


Great stuff!  SW of 360 & 183.  




Near Austin

Rocky Hills Ranch

near Smithville.  Rocky Hills Ranch offers over 18 miles of trails 
ranking from beginner to extreme. There's also a restraunt/bar for 
refreshments.  Cost is $5.50 and is well worth the price.    -- nathan@io.com

Gravel Road
There's a nice gravel (caliche) road from San Marcos to Wimberley...
Go out R 12 from SM and turn at freeman ranch road.
A very nice ride...and easy...nice because one is actually on ranches
(hello cows, hello cow patties)...and easy because it's car navigable.
Great views too.  --mw17318@academia.swt.edu
