Paint Gap Road

Terlingua, Texas
Typically going unnoticed in lieu of the more familiar offroad trails in Big Bend National Park; especially given it’s ‘typical dirt road’ appearance at its trailhead, Paint Gap Road’s unassuming nature results in most bypassing the wonders the trail holds. Yet just a couple miles down this 4 miles trail, the trail takes on a noticeable change in feel, transitioning from a well-maintained dirt road to a more rugged double-track trail. In spite beginning just off the main road within Big Bend National Park; once a visitor hits the double-track section and passes into the gap, visitors will immediately get the sense they’ve traversed well off the beaten path and ultimately be rewarded with the sites of several ruins of an old abandoned settlement.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park: Bronco Buster

Smithwick, Texas

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.

Northwest OHV Park A-2

Lake Bridgeport, Texas

A-2 is a difficult and long trail that circles the south and eastern edges of the East Quarry. The trail can be run in either direction and is fun either way. A-2 offers steep, 23-degree rocky climbs, small basketball-sized rock gardens, puckering shelf sections, scenic views into the southern A section of the park, and 3-foot stair-step ledge drops.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park: Green Horn

Smithwick, Texas

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.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park: Boss Hog

Smithwick, Texas

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.

Northwest OHV Park E-103

Lake Bridgeport, Texas

E-102 cuts through the center of the E-101 loop and follows a deeply cut ravine seasoned with tabletop-sized limestone slabs and peppered with plenty of round beachball boulders. Traction is already tough due to the unsecured moving rocks, but add in a little rain, and this trail can easily become impossible. The trail is a two-way trail with minimal spots to pull out of the way for oncoming traffic, especially for groups.

This trail is best suited for modified vehicles with large tires and traction aid devices. Rock sliders and engine skid plates are a must if you want to exit this trail under your own power.


Fees

Daily fees and annual passes can be purchased at the park gate with a card or cash, but both fees are cheaper if bought online.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park: Rocky

Smithwick, Texas

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.

Fees and Entry

Daily fees or extended memberships can be purchased at the park office. Entry into the park is on a first-come, first-served basis until the park reaches capacity, so be sure to arrive early.

Northwest OHV Park C-51 - Wise Co. Ridge

Lake Bridgeport, Texas

C-51 is a muddy ridge line above the West Quarry and the Powerline Road. There are several ways to access C-51, but if you approach from the east, you encounter several peanut butter-thick mud holes that will stick to everything and refuse to clean out from your tires. The southwest corner of the trail is generally hard-packed and offers several roller coaster-style inclines. This trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

McGuirk's Loop

Presidio, Texas
Ruins of a long-abandoned waterline service road and rusted remnants of an old pumping station liter McGuirk’s Loop. But what you will likely remember is the exceptionally demanding nature of this rarely traveled and heavily overgrown unmaintained route in Big Bend Ranch State Park. Running within the Solitario, McGuirk’s Loop enters and exits from an easily accessible road in the Solitario, yet immediately immerses the bold offroader with an experience unlike any other in the Park. Those who don't appreciate the chalkboard-like sounds of branches playing music with their vehicle's paint should avoid this trail. For those hearty others, this one-of-a-kind experience is an excellent addition to a day's off-road exploration in and around the solitario, blazing your way through what may at times feel like a jungle in the desert!

Hidden Falls Adventure Park: Wet & Wild

Smithwick, Texas

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.

Northwest OHV Park C-52

Lake Bridgeport, Texas

C-52 is a hill climb trail with one nasty little ledge near the top. The ledge ranges from 42 inches on the left to 30 inches on the right. There are multiple lines across the ledge. The far right seems the easiest because of the shorter climb. However, the far right will lean the vehicle off-camber towards a large tree on the downhill side. Pick a line that best suits your vehicle.

This trail is suitable for modified vehicles with large tires, skid plates, and traction aid devices.
