Summary: This trail provides for some nice, typical hill country scenery. The trail has some higher elevation spots that provide decent views out over the lower surrounding areas. There are many side trails, some of which end up in backyards of the many surrounding houses. Much of this trail is void of tree cover, so bring plenty of water in the summer.

There are some spots of the trail that are quite rocky, so mountain bike riding might be a challenge. The majority of the trail is pretty easy to navigate.

Trailhead: From Oak Hill, take Highway 71 west. Turn left onto Scenic Brook Drive. Follow Scenic Brook until you reach Kirkham Drive, and then turn left onto Kirkham. The road dead ends at the park. From the parking lot, head towards the back of the park. There several 'trailheads' to the trail which you can find by heading towards the right. (Lat:30.23573 Lon:-97.8917)
