COMMENTS / CONCERNS
What is going on with the trail?
The Army Corps of Engineers told us we could no longer use that trailheadÎ
entrance for horses; it was for pedestrian use only. We had been using it for
years. The nearest trailhead entrance available is 1 ½ miles away which forced
us to take riders down T.W. King. We have been working with them for a
solution. They have agreed to open the trailhead back up if we grant a public
access easement from the trails to T.W. King.
I am an 18-year customer, even prior to the current owners. This facility is very nice;
even nicer now with the new owners. They are very professional. We always bring our
out-of-state visitors to the ranch and they really enjoy the Texas experience.
