Yes, those trails are remarkably well-marked and accurately-mapped. It is a fairly straightforward system, and probably hasn't changed in 10+ years either, which I'm sure helps. Thanks to whomever did all of that. Was it done recently? -cls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IMO it looks like it was put there, not like it occurred naturally. Lots of fist-sized and golf-ball-sized rounded rocks, light-tan-ish color. Would look right at home on a gravel road. -cls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidingAgain Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Last time I was there (a few years ago) the gravel seemed to be more to the trail on your left side going down the main jeep road to the lake. The trail to the right side, the section that you begin on, seemed more like your typical rooty/rocky singletrack. I remember thinking it was a little strange, and that it seemed like someone had put it there. Edited June 11, 2019 by RidingAgain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks June Bug! I was looking whether that was the case, or whether it was remnants from the cretaceous period. While researching, I ran into this which some may find interesting/useful.

June Bug, are you sure you didn't mean Leanderings; this is central Texas, after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
