Goat Island Preserve

I completed the Judgement Day MTB challenge, this was my first visit to the preserve. Riding in the dark was fun, but not too much of a challenge.

Great trail! A little muddy the day we went out so we sruck to the main trail head. We were the only ones out there and my dog loved it. The trails are easy to follow woth great look out points. The park was easy to fine and oarking is avaiable. There is not a map but the trails are easy to identify. Will definitely be going back

I salute the people that mow/cut the trails! Awesome job! Thank you! Great place to walk/escape

Pros: Close to my work, very secluded, north Texas nature in the raw, extremely low trail traffic.
Cons: I have never seen another hiker (or even a biker) on any of the trails when I’ve visited. Although I love that aspect about Goat Island, I do worry when it gets close to dark... I realize that if I get bit by a snake, roll my ankle, or even get lost, I’ll be on my own out there. Cell phone service is sketch in places and (while the park stewards are dedicated) without the traffic of visitors, the trails aren’t always easy to find.
