Texas is the largest of the continental 48 states, yet it has very little federal and state
public lands, and many rode in Texas’
riverbeds until that was outlawed a
few years ago. Since then, many land
owners have been creating private
riding parks, like the Mud Creek Off-
Road Park, home of the High Lifter
Mud Nationals in the piney woods of
east Texas. Further west, the Texas Hill
Country offers more variety of terrain
and elevations from 950 to 1500 feet,
plus it has huge rock monoliths that
lend the name to the 3000-acre Hidden
Falls Adventure Park and attracts rock
crawlers and trail riders from all over
the state and region. This 2 square-
mile park has 240 miles of ATV, UTV,
dirt bike and 4x4 trails, and they’re
rated by experience levels like most trail
systems. Open from Thursday through
Sunday, Hidden Falls has motocross
and kids’ tracks, oak/hickory woods,
two camping areas, cabins for rent, and
also ATVs, UTVs and dirt bikes to rent
on the property. It also has a pro shop,
shooting range, firearms dealership,
hunting, paintball, swimming, hiking and
horseback riding.
Hidden Falls welcomes weekend
warriors, but the park also offers
individual and family memberships
and prides itself in having a fun family
atmosphere for all skill levels of riders or
drivers. Members can access the park
any day of the week, and the yearly or
six-month membership covers all park
rider fees. A yearly membership includes
a 20-percent discount on camping and
other park services, and members can
camp during the week as well. Camping
areas have restrooms and showers,
and the check-in area has an open-air
structure the size of a small circus tent
with picnic tables, so people can get
out of the weather and enjoy some
Chow Town Texas BBQ between rides.
