TRAIL
DISTANCE
DIFFICULTY
DESCRIPTION
PINEY HILL SPUR

CCC used to build park structures in the 1930s.
PINE WARBLER

FARKLEBERRY
SPUR
0.4 mi.
Moderate
This gently sloping route connects to the Scenic Overlook
Trail and is great for beginners. Keep a sharp eye out for birds,
especially in the morning!
STAYING SAFE
OLD CART PATHS
Up to 5 mi.
Easy
KNOW YOUR LIMITS. Prepare for sun and heat.
Wear sunscreen, insect repellent and appropriate
clothing/hiking shoes.
These paths are perfect for an easy hike! On the north side,
listen to the wind through loblolly pines. On the south side,
linger by Lake Mina for some family fishing. Great for strollers!
SCENIC OVERLOOK
TRAIL
1.7 mi.
Moderate
From the scenic overlook, a steep descent leads to the major
artery of the inner loop trails that follow Copperas Creek.
Discover the original CCC hike-in picnic area.
LOST PINES LOOP
4.3 mi.
Challenging
The longest backcountry trail in the park covers a diverse
landscape – from steep hills to gradual descents. Take plenty of
water, snacks, and sunscreen. Use Harmon Road as a landmark
or to make a loop (mileage not included in total distance).
Discover rebirth in this living laboratory of loblolly pines as the forest reveals
a new cycle of life following the 2011 Bastrop County Complex wildfire. Native
Americans, Spanish explorers, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees, and
now YOU can explore the only ecosystem the endangered Houston toad calls
home. Welcome to the woods!
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Your body quickly loses
fluids when you’re on the trail. Bring a quart (32 oz.) of water
per hour of activity.
TELL OTHERS WHERE YOU’LL BE. If possible, avoid
exploring alone. Tell someone where you are going and when
you plan to return.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL PLANTS AND ANIMALS MAY
LIVE HERE. You’ll see them more easily if you stay on trails.
ENDANGERED SPECIES HABITAT. Pause at Houston toad
ponds but do not disturb! Keep your pets on a leash and watch
where you step.
Check at headquarters for trail closures. Certain trails may be closed during prescribed burns or for other resource
management work.
Pileated woodpecker
LOOK UP, DOWN, AND ALL AROUND FOR HAZARDS. Beware of falling trees
and limbs above you, especially during high winds! Don’t stand under dead trees.
Watch out for stump holes at your feet.
Campfires are not permitted on trails due to the potential for ground scarring and wildfires. Smokers, please discard
cigarette butts in designated containers.
Trash your trash. Pack out all of your trash and Leave No Trace.
Help preserve Texas Heritage. Please do not disturb, remove, or deface any of the park’s plants, animals, artifacts, or
CCC structures.
Keep pets on leashes to keep them safe, while protecting wildlife.
