Details: Actually, ride spot is anything and everything. This Ranch is 3500 plus acres with the Red River running smack down the middle of it. The Ranch consist of all types of terrain including trail riding, hill climbing, flat terrain, sand dunes, and of coarse the Red River with all of her creeks, mud boggs, quick sand, yes quick sand. The Ranch itself is privately owned and of coarse there is a $5.00 riding fee per day. The hours of operation are Mon-Fri by appointment, the old man will let you in, you just have to call so he can meet you there and unlock the gates for you, or Sat- Sun as earliest as you can get there until dark. When the sun goes down you have two options: stay and camp, no riding after dark, so they say, or, load up your gear and head 10 miles south to Muenster and lodge in at the one Motel they have, very nice actually, and get cleaned up for yet another day of trailblazing. Like I said, this place has it all hills, rocks, riverbeds, wildlife, trails, cliffs, you name it they've got it.
How to get there:Take I-35 from Dallas or Ft. Worth towards Oklahoma, when you get to Gainsville exit on Hwy 82 west towards Muenster, when you reach Muenster you will come to the first red light in town, maybe the only red light, turn to the right and follow the road another 12 miles or so and you will see the Ranch by its green pipe fence, on the right hand side. Drive up a hundred feet or so and enter into the Ranch and then sign the sheet and pay your $5.00 and then you are ready to rock and roll.

Location Name: Spring Creek
Type of Riding Place: Trails
Location (closest city): Houston , TX USA
Details: This ride incorporates sandy creek bottoms, water crossings, MUD! and miles and miles of trails through bogs and marshy areas.

How to get there:The easiest way to get there is to take I-45 (either north or south) to
cypresswood drive in Spring Texas. Go east on Cypresswood drive for about
3-4 miles. On the left side of the road will be a school next to a large
drainage ditch. Immediately after passing the large ditch begin to look
on your left for several clearings into the woods. On Sundays these parking
areas begin to fill quickly so you may have to squeeze in somewhere further
down the road. A friendly warning do not ride on or in the drainage ditch.
These are state property and occasionally there will be a local sheriff in a
jeep writing citations to those who don't practice common land useage sense.
There are miles and miles of trails. One of the main ones will lead you down to
"School Beach". From here you can travel either up stream or down stream for 8-9miles
either way. On the creek bank there are numerous side trails and you can easily
put in a 30 mile ride on any given day. You may want to cross the water cautsiously
in some places it can get quite deep depending upon rain. Even if it has rained look
forward to a 20 mile round trip if you take the trails heading down stream.
