Texas is a vast state but it isn’t typically known for its beautiful scenery. There is one lesser-known region, Texas Hill Country, where some of the best undisturbed beauty in the state can be found. And within Texas Hill Country is the offroad paradise known as Hidden Falls Adventure Park.
Hidden Falls Adventure Park is a sprawling offroad playground with over 2,500 acres of rideable trails. The park offers a great mix of separate trails suited to full-size vehicles, ATVs and UTVs, and even motorcycle trails making it a great destination for all types of OHV enthusiasts. The icing on the cake is that it's located only 50 miles outside of Austin, Texas and just 10 minutes west of the gorgeous Colorado River town, Marble Falls.
Within the park is a healthy mix of trail difficulties from beginner-friendly dirt roads like Feeder Creek to challenging ledge climbs like Wet and Wild–even the occasional hardcore hill climb like Loose Rock. The park offers day riding passes in addition to multi-day passes which include overnight stays in one of their campsites or cabins. There are restrooms, shower facilities, a food truck, and even a general store on park grounds. With a variety of trails and numerous amenities, the popularity of Hidden Falls Adventure Park speaks for itself.
Like any private recreational area, Hidden Falls Adventure Park has rules and regulations in place to ensure the safety of visitors and the preservation of the natural environment. It's important for visitors to familiarize themselves with these rules before exploring the park.

Located just outside Marble Falls, an hour from Austin, Hidden Falls Adventure Park is an exhilarating 4x4 and camping area with some of the best offroading for miles around. With over 2,000 acres, this private off-road park, also designated as a Jeep Badge of Honor park, offers nearly 240 miles of trails suitable for all types of 4-wheel drive vehicles. Drivers can expect to be challenged with a variety of terrains, including steep hills, rock gardens, ledge climbs, water crossings, and tight turns.
Hidden Falls Adventure Park is an unforgettable experience that combines the thrill of off-road driving with the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced driver, there's something for everyone at this amazing off-road park.
F.M. T.R.O. is located in the park's western half and is the longest trail within Hidden Falls at nearly 3 miles. The trail begins at Park Road 1, not far from the park office, and quickly mesmerizes you with an incredible water crossing that looks bottomless but varies in depth of 2-3 feet. After passing unique rock formations, the trail increases in difficulty and becomes a non-stop rock garden filled with basketball and beachball-sized moving boulders. The trail randomly sprinkles in 2, 3, and even 4-foot ledges where multiple lines can traverse the obstacles to ensure it stays technical enough. The trail intersects with Valley Road, where you can bail out or continue trekking north, tackling more limestone ledges and eventually connecting to Park Road 2 near Green Mile.
F.M. T.R.O. is considered a level 4 road per the park's rating system.
This trail is best for modified vehicles with larger tires, traction aid devices, and skid plates.

Valley Road is one of only a couple of 4x4 roads in the western half of Hidden Falls Adventure Park. This area of the park is primarily for ATV trails, so don't be surprised when you see many signs and intersections for those such trails. Valley Road is a multi-use trail designated for both 4x4s and ATVs. It boasts the most significant water crossing within the park as you start by crossing Camp Creek. Immediately following the creek crossing, you are greeted with a steep hill making up the most challenging part of the trail. The remainder of the trail is a hard-packed, 2-vehicle-wide road across open terrain with a single, 50-yard optional mud bog. The trail passes a few large gathering spots with shade that could make for good lunch spots in the summer. The road deadends a short distance north of its intersection with Park Road 4.
The park's rating system considers Valley Road a level 2 trail.
This trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

Hog Alley is an easy dirt road that travels a ridgeline connecting Baby Back and Park Road 2. Typically a ridgeline is a high point that water would run down from. However, this trail defies that logic and selfishly stores gallons of water in several thick and sticky optional mud holes along the sides of the trail. The mud in these holes has a peanut butter consistency and almost acts like quicksand.
Hog Alley is considered level 1 by the park's rating system and has bypasses for every mud hole. Be cautious and do not attempt mud without recovery equipment and other vehicles.
This trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

Cut by raging water flows, Bronco Buster is a narrow, rocky canyon sporting 8-foot dirt walls topped with thick cedar trees. This canyon connecting Snoopy Falls and Park Road 2 will make you feel like you are driving through a tunnel. The trail boasts a number of challenges, including off-camber wall leans ready to take out mirrors and fenders, beachball-sized diff-catching rocks, sharp limestone wedges that choke your tire sidewalls, and 2'-3' ledge climbs that require a generous throttle bump.
Bronco Buster is considered a level 4 trail per the park's rating system.
This trail is best for modified vehicles with larger tires and skid plate protection.

Green Horn is a moderate, rocky trail connecting Park Road 2 and the mid-way point of North Pole. The trail is rightfully named as it is excellent for beginner 4-wheelers to stretch their legs and challenge themselves with little fear of vehicle damage. The trail starts in the dry drainage of Hickory Creek, where you will first traverse flat, table-top-sized boulders. You then must conquer a small, double-step waterfall with twin 18-inch ledges. The final obstacle is a much larger, 3-foot ledge with a slight undercut. This obstacle is entirely optional, with a smooth bypass around one side.
Green Horn is considered level 4 by the park's rating system.
This trail is suitable for any stock, high clearance 4-wheel drive.

Rocky starts near Area B and passes by the most notorious hill climbs in the park, like Penthouse, Dammit Derek, and Loose Rock. Rocky begins as a reasonably easy, hard-packed trail as it circles the south and east end of Wildcat Mountain, with only a few small sections of bumpy football-sized rocks. Once passing Revenge and heading northeast toward Feeder Creek, the trail finally presents a rightfully named challenge with a rocky, chewed-up hill peppered with large tombstone and tire-sized rocks. Careful tire placement and good ground clearance will be necessary to avoid differential hits or rocker panel damage.
This trail best suits modified vehicles with larger tires, skid plates, and traction aid devices.

Unlike the muddy ridgeline to the southwest, Boss Hog is a continuous staircase of limestone drops as it makes its way from Park Road 2 near Hog Alley down to an intersection with Royal Gorge. The ledges start small on the trail's west end at about 10" and gradually grow in size until you come to a 5-foot, horseshoe-shaped waterfall drop with only a few possible lines. This obstacle poses a significant challenge to stock vehicles; thus, the trail is best suited for modified vehicles with larger tires and undercarriage protection. This trail is a two-way trail and a significant challenge in either direction.
Boss Hog is considered a level 3 road per the park's rating system.

Park Road 3 is a wide, hard-packed main access road used primarily as an exit to the one-way hill climbs on the south side of Wildcat Mountain. Additionally, it is an easy road to visit the radio tower on Wildcat Mountain and visit the lookout point, where you can oversee the entire southwest side of the park and gaze upon Texas hill country for miles.
Park Road 3 is considered a level 2 road per the park's rating system.
This trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

Wet & Wild is a tight, narrow, rocky canyon that treks over small limestone ledges and basketball-sized boulders. This half-mile-long trail through thick cedar trees offers a half dozen optional ledge climbs that will challenge even the most built rigs. Halfway through the trail, you encounter the first optional ledge, a horseshoe-shaped waterfall ranging from 3-5 feet tall, with a slight undercut. A large coffin-sized rock at the bottom of the obstacle makes it tough to gather momentum as it will grab most differentials. The bypass around this obstacle is a steep, loose, v-notch that is not stock vehicle friendly.
Wet & Wild is considered a level 4 trail per the park's rating system.
This trail is best for modified vehicles with larger tires and skid plate protection.

Feeder Creek is a simple, hard-packed dirt road with a few rogue rocks, potholes, and shallow erosion ruts. Its primary use is to connect Green Horn/Park Road 2 with North Pole, just west of Mount Saint James. It's a well-traveled two-way trail and generally 1.5-2 vehicles wide.
Feeder Creek is considered a level 2 road per the park's map but a level 1 per signs on the ground.
This trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

Carnage Canyon is a 400-yard trail that climbs sharply between Dino Falls and Hog Alley. The trail's three limestone ledge obstacles will punish your rock sliders and undercarriage if you are not cautious with your line choice. The first ledge is the smallest, with a 12-inch wall and only wide enough to offer one line choice. The second ledge is 3-4 feet with multiple lines, the far right being the easiest. The third and final ledge is 2-5 feet tall with multiple lines. The far left is the easiest. This two-way trail is best run uphill from east to west.
This trail is best suited for modified vehicles with larger tires and traction aid devices.

Dino Falls is a short trail connecting Park Road 2 and Baby Back while passing through Hickory Creek. The waterfall is a popular picture point with vehicles staged as close to the edge as possible. The large parking area atop the falls is great for hanging out and relaxing. Vehicles are not allowed at the base of the falls, but the trail loops around the west side and drops down into the creek bottom. The transition from the top to the bottom of the falls is a dirt v-notch that varies in depth depending on recent rainfall. The creek bottom is bumpy, filled with rocks of different sizes, from golf balls to beachballs, and often has standing water.
In dry conditions, this trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle. In wet conditions, 4WD is necessary.

Revenge is a 50-yard wide wall on the east side of Wildcat Mountain that offers multiple ledge climbs between Rocky trail and Park Road 3. The ledges range from 2 feet to 7 feet tall and every size in between. Most climbs are only 5-10 yards long, but the terrain is loose and could prove impossible in wet conditions.
This trail best suits modified vehicles with larger tires and skid plates.

Royal Gorge is a narrow wash trail that parallels Park Road 2, passes Helicopter Landing Zone 4, and offers several entry and exit points. The main feature on the trail is a massive, bowl-shaped waterfall with multiple lines ranging from 4-6 feet tall. The only bypass around the waterfall is a loose, 4-5 stairstep climb over 10'' ledges. The northwest end of the trail offers a couple of small, single-ledge obstacles and a rutty rock garden.
Royal Gorge is considered a level 5 road per the park's rating system, but this would be if you attempt the large waterfall.
This trail is suitable for modified vehicles with larger tires and skid plates as they can bypass the most difficult obstacles, but to conquer the biggest waterfall, you will need a highly modified vehicle on 37'' tires or larger and locking differentials.

Green Horn 2 starts at Green Horn 1 and travels directly north, parallelling Feeder Creek. This trail is a somewhat narrow wash with a few sporadic rocks smaller than a football and two small ledges. The first ledge is around 12'' tall, and the second is around 16'' tall. Neither ledge is that challenging. Just a good place to stretch the suspension.
Green Horn 2 is considered a level 4 road per the park's rating system.
This trail is suitable for any high clearance, 4wd vehicle.
