Pace Bend, Spicewood, TX

The newest trail in the Austin area has new trails that just opened up in September 2008. Close in proximity to Muleshoe, the conditions are fairly similar, but there is more elevation change, more interesting downhill sections and more trail variance.


Location:

Spicewood, TX


Directions:

Take TX 71 west, past 620, to RM 2322, which becomes Pace Bend Park Road. Follow that into the park.
