Trail Description:
The park itself has about 10 miles of dual track loop trails. Surface is natural and includes packed gravel, rocky spots, clay, and sand. Shares trail with hikers and equestrians. Lots of wildlife and travels through diverse ecosystems. The trailway is 20 miles long and was an old railine. goes from downtown Mineral Wells to Weatherford and has a connecting spur to the State Park. Surface is highly improved and the trail has a whole bunch of improvements like 4 trailheads with paved parking, water, restooms, and informational kiosks. There are about 15 or 16 bridges over pretty creekways and one new bridge over a four-lane highway. The trail is great for families, beginers, and folks wanting to train or exercise. It even goes by a McDonalds. Nothing like it in Texas!
How to get there:
45 minutes west of Ft. Worth. Take I-20 to US 180 and continue west. Turn on Park Road 71 and go to the Park Office. They will provide maps and directions to all tralheads.
Additional Notes:
The State Park also has rock climbing/rapelling, camping, swimming, and even more hiking trails.

Understand that I'm extremely amateur on my 2000 Haro. I love this trail and ride it at least twice a year. Since my Mother lives in Mineral Wells (I'm in San Antonio) I have a reason to go up. This trail starts at Minearl Wells and winds up and over slight hills to MW State Park, then mild up and down, pasture, creeks, some wooded and bridges to Weatherford. There's little by way of modern facilities, and virtually no traffic, pedestrian or bike, in this area. It is so uplifting. I'm heading up next week, as a matter of fact.

took vacation in April ..this year to hunt various parks for a good, flat scenic ride...not a mountain biker...because i like photography, like to sit back and look .stop,enjoy, not spend too much time watching where i am going...and this place was as near perfection as i could have hoped to find( other than a bike only paved trial). scenic, through wonderful wooded meadow rich,Texas pasture and farmland,hardly any one on the trails( all were on bikes..all 5 or 6 i saw).ran into deer, great spring flowers ( though sparse generally),rich woods,open spaces,a bobcat!!!! a pygmy goat with his lttle burro and a beautiful brown mare sidekicks..the goat is a talker and will come to the fence to chat..this little critter was VERY talkative ...say 'baahhh' to him and he really responds!! funny as hell.and very photogenic and be scratched with the sidekicks following him . all and all a really neat ride...and i will look forward to going back...only rode halfway from the Weatherford end(
