Trail Overview

This trail follows along the historic Big Blue River to where it will meet with Tuttle Creek Lake. Along this route, you will find old ghost towns of Irving and Cleburne, a natural spring (which, yes, is safe to drink from), great views, and, of course, some wildlife. There are plenty of stopping points along the river to see great views or even try your luck at some fishing.

Status Reports

After recent rains there were some very muddy roads. It got a little hairy a few times but we were able to make it through. Bronco OBX stock.

Trail conditions were as expected and described. Mostly dry graded gravel roads. Certain sections were high centered one lane dirt trails with a few water crossings no more than 6 inches deep. Most high clearance 2wd vehicles could ride this trail no problem.
