Mountain Biking Flat Rock Ranch

*****   Add a review
#2 of 279 mountain bike trails in Texas
#104 in the world

They have 44 miles of existing single track, Progressive Enduro Lines, and a
non-technical beginner loop. The trails lead through typical Texas hill country
terrain (rocky), with spectacular views, hill climbs (good ones), long downhill
sections (best of all), technical single track, and several creek crossings
(usually dry in the summer). We Have the 18 mile cross country lower loop,
the 15 mile cross country upper loop, and 11 mile beginner friendly green
arrow loop. Combine upper and lower loops and you can ride 33 miles without
doing anything twice. You can ride the first 6 miles of the green arrow loop
with a gravel bike. Also you can ride or session the knar of the 11 different
downhill Enduro lines.

They do have a map of the area at the main trailhead, and it is pretty much
the main entrance to all the trails. Bring your own water and tools and a
couple of tubes! They do have a mechanic stand at the trail head to work on
your bike. The cost is $15 per person or $10 per person for Military, veterans,
age 60+, first responders, and age 12 to 18 years old, 12 years and under are
free when accompanied with an adult; it is worth every dollar! On week days
fill out the waiver envelopes (at the pole shed) and drop your money in the slot
inside the honor box, or pay online and fill out waiver at

Rider questions

Q: Anyone have up-to-date info about the season start/stop dates for this trail? There is a review below from 2018 that states it closes end of October, but nothing on opening of season.

Q: If you camp at the ranch, is there a good / safe place to lock your bike? Or what do most people do with their bikes when they camp? Just upgraded my mtn bike so probably still overly cautious with my new favorite toy...
