Summary:
It's West Texas canyon walls so it gets pretty rocky. The scenery, esp when compared to in-town trails, is pretty nice. Singletrack right along the rim with Jeep roads to the outside. Relatively flat with short, fun down/uphill sections. A solid once a month monotony breaker. But...

THIS is the wild west from the movies. There are quite a few motorcycle races held in here each year and these local guys boogie. Watch the heck out! Seems like every day is "qualifying" day. Locals shoot guns, throw beer cans, and put Jeeps where Jeeps seemingly can't go.

Just know you're on "their" turf when you pay your $5 to get in.

Recommended Route:
South side of lake rim, out and back. Seems to be fastest and best thrill for your dollar.

Summary:
Haven't been to BS in a long time and I too was tired of Mae Simmon(MLK)and had read of some work that had been done to BS. Decided to give it a try on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. Trail has been recently marked with Yellow(easy) and Pink(difficult) arrows and is much more fun.

This area has some great singletrack and fire road trails, and once you make it to the old rim trail, the views are spectacular.

A fun trail to break up the monotiny of MLK/Purina, but not something I would ride but once or twice a month.

Recommended Route:
Enter through the main gate to BS and stay on the main road past where you cross the dam. Once past the dam, look for a set of horse stables (white fence) on the left and the trailhead start there. There is a sign for MTB.

Summary:
I was getting sick of riding Mae Simmons so I dropped the now $3 to check this trail out. It's a really nice (but hot) ride, great views. There are some pretty technical sections, mainly because you're less than 5' from a 100-200' dropoff. Definitely not a trail I would ride daily, but it's a nice break from the other city style trails in the area. I rode it clockwise and then counterclockwise and it made for a nice 15 or so mile ride.

Recommended Route:
Ride it clockwise and counterclockwise, different challenges each way.
