This is a section of single track that you can Edward's Park on Spicewood Springs Road. If entering from Edwards Park, go down the hill towards Bull Creek and you will see a few trails heading up the hill on the other side. Bear to the extreme right to follow the Edward's Park trails. If you bear left you go up the Jester mountain trail and eventually meet the Bull Creek High Ridge Trails.
This is a tricky area to bike because
of the Texas Warbler Habitat and the
private property encroachment on
all sides of the preserve.
There is no need to cross fence lines.
There are plenty of trails in the
public areas surrounding Edwards Park.
The trail is extremely narrow and follows a cliff precipice above Bull Creek. The drop over the edge into the Creek is about 50 feet, toss a rock to measure the distance. If you are a novice bike, I advise you to walk the bike on the narrow sections. Avoid this trail on muddy days.
The network of trails goes off into the wilderness, eventually bordered by power lines, ranches and other private property.
There are some climbs that require expert level technical skill, aerobic capacity and strength to climb.
Technical requiring balance, hopping, pogo-action, traction control, or other bike-handling skills. | Aerobic requiring sustained heart rates and a high lung capacity. | Strength requiring leg power and upper body development. | |
