Climb the tower and enjoy unforgettable views of sunsets, sunrises, marshes, lakes and wetlands.

This southern most loop of the trails, as of Jan 19, 2025 should be ridden with lowered expectations. Storms downed many trees here blocking the trail. Aside from that there were many branches across the trail that could lead to damage. There were signs crews were working to clear the trails but it will take some time I think. That said, there was little technically difficult aside from the off camber section that runs along the levee and if the trail was cleared it would be a nice long loop for training.

The best actual mountain bike trail on this side of the river. There was only really 2, now 1 (check the pictures) segments that were blocked (Jan 19, 2025) due to fallen trees. It’s an all skills level trail to be sure but I found it very nice. Just enough challenging sections to test you at higher speeds, easy pace would remain easy. There is a banked corner that I really liked to carry some speed into. Slight downhill then up to the banked, off camber banked left into a slight downhill. It sounds strange in script but was fun to see how much lean you could carry through it. The soil is all soft dirt, no clay or sand so lots of grip. A great place to practice or learn. A short loop you can do many times in a row

This somewhat fantastical-looking wooden observation tower rises three stories above the lake. Since the land bridges that lead out to the tower are so thin, it's easy to immerse yourself in the view and picture what the area would have looked like before humans. Shaded benches and an informational signboard sit at the base of the tower.

Hale Lake is an oxbow lake that has been cut off from Big Creek, a tributary of the Brazos River. Trails explore the lake in full, allowing you to get closer to nature in this beautiful part of Texas. Alligators can often be found here – make sure you do not approach or feed them.

The Justin Brindley Memorial Trail is one of the most popular trails in the park, so there is a good chance you will see other bikers on the path. The trail is all single track and has several areas with jumps.

This is a lovely wetland environment in the Brazos Bend State Park. Trails circle the lake, allowing you to view the wildlife that inhabits it, while an observation tower allows you to look out across the park. It's important to read up on alligator safety, information on which can be found on signs around the park.

The Brazos River forms the eastern boundary of the Brazos Bend State Park. Views across the river can be accessed on the Red Buckeye, Bluestem and Riverview Trails. The Brazos is the 11th-longest river in the US.
