Mountain Biking
X Bar Ranch offers riders of all levels 16 miles of trails in the middle of west-central Texas ranch country on both single track (85%) and jeep roads. The trails twist and turn through 2 dry river valleys, mesquite flats and cedar/oak-covered hills. Even with our fair share of rocks, these trails are fast and furious.
There is a combination of 3, 9 and 12 mile inter-connected loops.
Many additional miles of jeep and caliche roads are also available on this 7,100-acre Texas ranch.
Trails are closed some of April, November and December; they are accessed at Live Oak Lodge, and reservations or calling ahead is always required- we would hate for you to drive up to a locked gate!
The X Bar was the proud host of 11 TMBRA Texas State Mountain Bike Championship Series races and has hosted a handful of other mountain bike related events through the years.
