    This trailhead, also known as Richards Trailhead Parking Lot #1, is the official access point for the Wilderness Section—the first of 11 segments of the 96-mile Lone Star Hiking Trail (LSHT) from west to east. Parking is available, and there is a posted sign with up-to-date trail information. Access to the trailhead is free to the public. There is no restroom here, and potable water is available only at Double Lake and Stubblefield recreation areas, so bring a filter or pack plenty of water.
    From this trailhead, the Little Creek Loop Trail, also part of the designated LSHT system, branches off in a 13-mile loop, connecting back onto the main trail. It is popular with day hikers looking to spend a few hours exploring, as well as backpackers heading out on the “Grand Loop”—a 30-mile hiking adventure that connects with several other trails in the area.
