A riding area in excess of 5000 acres of spacious, spectacular, backcountry scenery, with approximately 14 miles of riding trails. These trails can be rugged, with cliffs, drop-offs, and steep climbs and descents. Experienced riders can find challenging areas along the trails.

This rail-to-trail conversion features a fairly level surface, with a 1% grade or less, which stretches from South Plains to near Estelline. The scenic backcountry offers beautiful vistas, wildlife viewing, nearly unbroken solitude, and passes through one of the last remaining railroad tunnels in Texas. There are 7 different parking lots along the multi-use trail, about 10 miles apart from each other.

The equestrian camping area consists of 12 campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and two horse corrals (10' x 20'). Campers have the choice of primitive or developed-style camping. The primitive camp area accommodates up to 20 people and has 2 community corrals. It is located near the Little Red River. This site requires a hike or ride of one mile. Vehicles are not allowed at any of the primitive sites; parking is available at the trailhead; water is not potable; and restrooms are not available in either area.
