Description
The Bar-O Trail #2 is mostly doubletrack running roughly from the park entrance past the main ranch house eventually ending at the main Park Road. As such, it offers an alternative to hiking on the park roads, although they certainly are not busy. This trail is named after the Bar-O Ranch which was donated by Louise Merrick to the state of Texas as the basis for Hill Country State Natural Area.
