Forrest Creek Ranch
Forrest Creek Ranch (with two r’s) is a new private trail system in Dale, Texas that is shaded, flowy, and virtually free of rocks. The race loop is about nine miles long, and three miles of it was designed and cut by KOM trails. It is pretty unique relative to the other trail systems in central Texas. You can take a look at the full photo gallery from our ride here.
The main loop can be divided into thirds: the first third is rolling cross country, there is little elevation but it is not flat. The second part begins after the first road crossing, and this is where the machine cut sections built by KOM are located. There are deep g outs with berms, and one section that can be described as a “shralpy chute”. The final third has elevation as well, but much more flow, and the only three jumps to be found for the time being. It is definitely a workout, and some of the climbs are punchy. The owner is fine with both e bikes and Onewheels, but you’ll need to leave your moto or Surron at home.
This summer, Todd Eric of Endura Race has organized open ride days, a June race series, and a TMBRA race in September! Information can be found here.
