Madrone Trail, Canyon Lake

The team that did the trails here really did a great job. The trails are in excellent shape and there is a wide variety of trails available. The skill levels of the trails are more middle of the road with a few technical spots, but overall it makes for a fast ride and lots of quick twists and turns.

The trails are very twisty and tightly packed into a small amount of room. The trailbuilders did a great job of laying out the trails so you continually criss-cross back and forth, but the ride never gets boring.


Location:

Canyon Lake


Directions:

Take I-35 south to Texas 306; head west past the town of Canyon Lake (about 18-20 miles). You'll see an Exxon on the right that is right at the entrance of the Canyon Lake Park (there will be a brown sign indicating the park). Turn left into the park and follow the trail. Just past the beach you'll see a parking area on the right. If you get to a guard station on the road you have gone too far.
