Trail Overview

This dirt route takes you through the North Texas countryside on mostly dirt roads. Depending on the time of year, there are water crossings and washed-out areas to be cautious of. Lake Daniel is a great stopping point to get out and enjoy the scenery! There is camping, fishing, and offroad driving to enjoy. Further north, you start to pass through free-range cattle territory and areas where there may be a creek crossing. Any vehicle can enjoy this route, but high clearance is recommended.

Status Reports

This trail is rated at a 2 but I would give it a 1 or 0. The trail starts on gravel roads through a small town then continues to be gravel straight roads until you reach a paved county road. We stopped halfway through this trail because it was disappointing.

This was fun takes you from Ranger to Albany. Approximately 12-15 mins from Tudor Loop.. there was a cool Lake about half way through and a couple of cool jumps if you’re in a prerunner (train tracks at beginning, then a drainage bridge towards the back half that is a perfect booter.. I’d keep it around 40-45 mph if you’re gonna send it). This run was good but had a long stretch of hwy between dirt roads dead center where the lake is located. Lake have a small little dirt loop going all the way around it then back to the main road. This would be a lot more fun after a heavy rain if you’re in a Lifted Jeep or Truck. It’s all white rock and extremely dusty if it’s dry. If you’re coming from Albany I recommend doing Tudor Loop once you reach Ranger then eating a The Smoke Stack Restaurant
