Description
The Breaks at Bar-H Mountain Bike Ranch currently has approximately 25 miles of professionally designed, built and maintained trails open for public use. These range in length from about .3 to 4.5 miles and level of difficulty from very easy to expert only. Except for Earl's Way and Bill's Way, which are combination ranch road and bike trail, all of The Breaks trails are singletrack designed and built specifically for that purpose.
Tia Hutson, The Breaks manager and master trail designer/builder, is always adding new trails and improving, and occasionally rerouting, existing trail. Her long term development plans call for building 10 to 15 miles of new trails over the next five years. Trained by Tony and Danna Boone (owners of Arrowhead Trails, Inc. in Colorado and seasoned professionals in the trail building business), Tia and her late father Bill Hutson developed a system of singletrack unparalleled in Texas and most of the southwest.
Approaching 1200 acres, The Breaks is nestled amidst the canyons and arroyos of
the Red River valley of north Texas, terrain that is close to perfect for singletrack. So it is no wonder they have been able to create a mountain biking park to challenge riders of all levels. The trails range in elevation nearly 400 feet from the lowest sections in The Holler to the highest points on Devil's Backbone and Horseshoe. Plus the terrain covers nearly the entire topographic spectrum, from open pasture to dense woodland, narrow winding ravines, steep, rugged hills and sharp ridegelines offering panoramic vistas of the Red River Valley.
As a whole, The Breaks offers not only superior biking opportunities for all skill levels, but also a complete park environment with facilities to accommodate trail runners, scouting and orienteering groups, racing events (biking, running, adventure, etc.) of any size, camping from large RV hookup to remote wilderness, nature observation/photography and much more. Whatever your outdoor activity preferences, consider The Breaks your home away from home and first choice destination.
