So you want to go wheeling in Central Texas?

Believe it or not, even with the vastness of the great State of Texas, your options are surprisingly quite limited. (That is unless you are secretly a ridiculously wealthy land owner and have your own play area for Jeeping. By the way, if you do, please contact me I’d love to come wheel on your property. Ahem… ok moving on… )

For the rest of us mortals, there is Hidden Falls Adventure Park just outside of Marble Falls, Texas.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park Overview

Hidden Falls Adventure Park holds the title of being the largest off-road park in Texas.

Imagine a 3000+ acre oasis in the middle of the Texas Hill Country that is practically Disneyland for off-roaders.

The park is located approximately 57 miles northwest of Austin, Texas at 7030 East FM1431 Marble Falls, Texas 78654.

A truly family friendly experience. Off-roading enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels will enjoy honing their skills and testing their mettle on 240+ miles of trails ranging from very mild to extremely wild.

One of the things I really like about Hidden Falls Adventure park is that it has innumerable trails specifically designated for various types of off-road vehicles. Jeeps (and other wannabe 4×4 full sized vehicles), ATVs, UTVs, Motorcycles, and custom built rock crawlers can regularly be found enjoying the park.

True to the theme park format, Hidden Falls Adventure Park comes complete with the amenities one would expect from an established off-road park. These amenities include ATV and dirt bike rentals, restrooms, showers, an entire row of air compressors to fill up your tires after a long day on the trails, a shop, and a pavilion area for events.

But they also have other amenities you wouldn’t expect, included among these is a full service shooting club including skeet, trap, rifle, and pistol ranges for those with an itchy trigger finger, archery ranges for those into the bow, and beyond that CHL and tactical firearms training and sales.

Camping at Hidden Falls Adventure Park

If one day isn’t enough and you are looking for an extended stay, Hidden Falls Adventure Park offers RV camping with full hook ups, as well as primitive camping. They also have bunkhouses available to rent.

In short, if you want to go out for an entire weekend it is easy to make that happen. Even though we have a 40′ diesel RV we haven’t been out there camping yet, but we have taken a look at the RV park and it looks like a perfect little spot for an off-road weekend.

Though camping at Hidden Falls Adventure Park isn’t cheap, it is far cheaper than Disneyland, and for the off-road enthusiast just as fun, so keep that in mind as you are making your vacation decisions.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park Membership

For off-roaders who live in the Central Texas area, a Trail Park Membership to Hidden Falls Adventure Park is practically a no-brainer.

The first and most impressive benefit is that members get access to the park 7 days a week even though the park is only open to the general public Thursday through Sunday, and members can also camp during the week with their membership!

In addition you get a 20% discount on camping and other park services. The Trail Park Membership covers all trail park rider fees for the people under membership too.

Since there aren’t many options when it comes to the Central Texas area, membership at Hidden Falls Adventure Park makes sense if you will be in the area for any length of time. I’d offer you a link but as of right now you can’t purchase memberships on their website, you need to do it in person.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park Rules

As always, rules are subject to change and this is by no means a complete list of rules so please read the full rules upon check-in.

Some of the rules that I thought were interesting enough to share:

Dogs are welcome but must be cleaned up after and kept on a leash.

All park roads have a speed limit of 15MPH.

No trailblazing. Ride on marked trails only. They will give you and your toys the boot if you fail to comply with this.

No alcohol is allowed on the trails. Period.

Night riding is permitted on Friday and Saturday nights, you must be back at base camp by midnight. All other nights wheeling is only allowed until sunset.

Children 14 and under are not allowed to ride without adult supervision.

Legally carried firearms are allowed but you may not be in possession of or consume alcohol while carrying.

Ground fires are allowed and you can use any dead or broken off tree limbs found on the trails but you may not cut any wood for fires. Firewood is available at the shop.

All in all, the rules at Hidden Falls Adventure Park make sense. They aren’t overly restrictive and the folks enforcing them are off-roaders themselves. So they get it. Some folks aren’t going to like some of the rules, but the rules are intended for the safety of everyone involved and the enjoyment of the majority. So please abide by them and keep this place a fun place for everyone to enjoy.

Note that they do have a group of Hidden Falls Park Rangers patrolling the area regularly to enforce the rules and help out off-roaders in need.

Here are some images captured at Hidden Falls Adventure Park. It really is a fun place to wheel and a great place to cut your teeth if you are new to the lifestyle!

One of the things that I remember distinctly about being out at Hidden Falls Adventure Park was the sense of camaraderie among everyone out there. People were all smiling and simply kind to one another.

It is one of those places you look forward to visiting again the moment you leave.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park Summary

I’ve been out to Hidden Falls Adventure Park a handful of times so far. Each time I go, I’m like a little kid in a candy store. The folks there are friendly, there are tons of trails for all skill levels and the Hidden Falls Adventure Park Rangers are really helpful.

I’d highly recommend this park to anyone in the Central Texas area and would personally rate them easily a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only thing they don’t have that I wish they did is a place to wash off the undercarriage of the Jeep before leaving the park.

I hope to find more places like this as we travel across the United States!
