Trails

Kerrville-Schreiner Park is proud to boast more than 14 miles of natural surface, multi-use, multi-directional trails. Trails are mostly “single track” with a mix of dirt, caliche, limestone, scree, roots, some rocks, and mulch. 80% of the trails would be considered easy to moderate in difficulty and provide shade. The trail system is appropriate for beginners and kids. It has great flow and good sight lines for other trail users. There is a 13-15 mile loop possible without duplicating any trail. All the trails are wide enough to run with a dog and allow passing of other trail users. Please be respectful of all trail users and pay attention to your surroundings.

Navigating the Trails

All trails are marked with small blue arrows along with Trail Number / Letter

  • Even #s on the Northwest side of the park 
  • Odd #s on the Southeast side of the park. 
  • Access Roads- AR- are jeep roads that are wider than the numbered trails. 

Trails and the access roads can be combined in many ways to get between 1 mile up to 13 miles without duplication. It’s easy to shorten or lengthen a route and the trail is never more than about ½ mile from the Park Road. 

For Runners and Hikers

The trails at Kerrville-Schreiner Park are great to trail run and hike on. Although trail shoes would be ideal, the minimal granite and small, uneven surface, allow regular running shoes to be a great option as well.   

For Mountain Bikers

Kerrville-Schreiner Park is one of the best mountain biking destinations in the Hill Country. A Helmet is strongly recommended for trail riding and E-bikes are limited to Class 1- pedal assist only. 

A mountain bike is best for the trails at Kerrville-Schreiner Park, although those with skill can ride the trail on a gravel bike or dual-sport bike. There are minimal rocky technical areas. However, Trail 8B has a somewhat steep climb (or descent) to an amazing view just below the water tower. This section of the trail is considered the most technical. The Orange Loop (8A, 8B, 8C) would be considered moderate to difficult. Other technical areas are very brief, requiring navigation of sporadic rocks and/or roots.

Trail Work and Trail Design are implemented by a committee of experienced trail builders along with Park Staff. No trail modifications are allowed.
