Bluff Creek Ranch

Description for Bluff Creek Ranch

Anyone who thinks that a solid intermediate level course requires rocks has never been to Bluff Creek Ranch, its the oldest Mountain bike ranch in Texas. Located on the edge of the "lost pines" area of Central Texas, the terrain of Bluff Creek is more reminiscent of Northeast Texas or southern Arkansas ... lots of tall trees, rolling hills, fast dirt track, and plenty of big roots and creek drops.

For those familiar with Walnut Creek in Austin, Bluff Creek takes some of the better elements of that course and expands upon them. The front part of the course winds and twists through the trees, dropping into and out of a creek multiple times, then you ride through a pasture (Bluff Creek Ranch is a working cattle ranch specializing in hormone-free longhorns) before dropping precipitously off the bluff that gives Bluff Creek its name.

Bluff Creek has a full service campground, including running water, a hose for washing down your bike, and hot showers. Current 2010 fee is $8 to ride or $10 to camp and ride. See web site for other rules.
