Trail Overview

This 106-mile scenic drive through the headwaters of the Navasota River will take you past multiple historic cemeteries, and offers different levels of camp amenities at Navarro Mills Lake. The Texas wildflower bloom in the spring offers incredible photo opportunities as the bluebonnets, phlox drummondii and indian paintbrush take over the fields. The route is primarily made up of gravel roads with a mix of dirt field roads. Use caution during wet weather, as most will become impassable.

Really fun trail. Lots of the trail were county roads that went through fields. A couple parts were impassable to deep ruts so I just back tracked and picked up down the line. Lots of windmills and some cool fields to take a break and stretch. Not sure if I would take this route if it had just rained. Seems like it could get muddy quick. I finished this train around Hillsboro then headed north east to finish the Texas traverse leg 2 trail which I also recommend.

Very nice. Not technical whatsoever, but a nice drive through the countryside.
