I ride this trail frequently on my bike. It is a rails to trails conversion and is very easy to ride. The section that is in Mineral Wells is paved. The section from the east side of Mineral Wells to Weatherford is crushed gravel. The gravel portion is good for trail running/hiking, bikes with wider tires, and horses. Horses are only allowed on the trail section from the State Park to Weatherford. The entire trail is 22 miles in length. Water and bathroom facilities are available at all of the trail heads. Plenty of good parking is available at all trail heads. This is a great trail for bike packing with camping available at Lake Mineral Wells State Park.
| ThankAnticipation getting to this trail was quite high. Knowing the terrain of this region, being in some areas somewhat questionable I was excited!! You arrive to state park entrance, greeted by friendly park rangers. Here you can get info on the park. By the way driving into the park very pleasing scenery. Driving back to the main trailhead youllpass the ever so quaint lake mineral wells, soon to be at trailhead.
| ThankGetting on the trail emediatly, I was very quickly disappointed as the trail appeared to be more for the equestrian type. Very cool for hiking, not so much for a my bike. Unless some trail building group shows up and builds some trails specifically for bikes, I won't ride out at this park anymore!
