Description
The 1886 Trail is a well-groomed, well-maintained, and well-marked trail with rolling terrain. The trailhead is the start of three separate trails; this trail (the "1886" trail) is the longest of the the three. The trail is located in a City of Weatherford, Texas-owned property and maintained by the Weatherford Mountain Bike Club. Unlike some other mountain bike trails, these trails appear to co-exist nicely with hikers, runners, and mountain bikers.
