    I was just wondering the same! I'm in SA and would like to find somewhere close by. I used to wheel at Devil's Den but after a few friends got $300+ tickets I stopped going... Any suggestions for the SA/South Texas region please let me know...

    Hidden Falls is in Marble Falls just north of SA. Longs ranch is also a possibility but I think it is only open a few weekends a year.

    It's a really good park. Plenty of camping and trails for every level of rig.

    I would highly recommend to have at least sliders on your rig, and a locker would help as well.

    There is a trail at Hidden Falls called Toyota. Do NOT take this trail if you care about your paint in the least. Stick to level 2-3 trails if you have no armor.

    If you're careful, the Nuecess River and Dry Frio down around Uvalde have some good spots. I say "careful" because of the laws on motor vehicles on the river beds. I've been in VA for a while now, and I don't think they've lifted those laws. A friend of mine in high school got his H2 stuck on the Dry Frio and had to get a bulldozer to get him out. Sustained some hefty fines for it. But he didn't know what he was doing, so that didn't help.

    200 miles of trails has nice dirt bike and atv areas as well. It's pretty peaceful and usually not that packed. You can also rent atvs and shit.
