So, Trailboss, how was the trail? Swampy? Is it worth it now to get out there for a backpacking trip, assuming one could find a dry place to set up camp. JD...
If swampy means muddy shoes, yes. But after four hikes along various sections of the LSHT no problem finding plenty of relatively dry, flat spots. Pine trees...
Thanks, Thomas. Yep, I can stand muddy boots but constantly detouring around little lakes really takes the fun out of hiking because it amounts to a bushwack....
Seven of us hiked the 7.8 miles on the Four Notch main trail to Neiderhoffer and back with narry a muddy boot, not even crossing Boswell Creek. The long...
A few of us are trying to plan an overnighter somewhere on the LSHT. We are coming from Dallas, so the specific area doesn't matter all that much. We'd like...
Hey everyone , I'm starting my Thru Saturday, finnally some time off, how ever my ride back to Richards fell through, so the question, does any one want to...
I know it's off topic from the LSHT but I'm assuming some of you hike other places. Does anyone have gpx files of trails in San Angelo State Park? I'm...
By "no road crossing" do you mean you want to see no signs of civilization the entire hike, or do you just mean you don't want to cross a busy road dodging...
The western end (richards) is basically a series of interconnected loops. The maps can be found in teh files section on this site. East of 45 there is the 4...
By 'no road crossings' I really meant higher traffic areas. I don't like to camp too close to roads, and if there are too many of them it makes it difficult...
I haven't had any problems hitching rides around the LSHT - most folks didn't realize there was a trail there, but saw the backpack and (I guess) were curious...
When do you plan to finish your hike? How many miles the last day? I might meet you on the trail the last day and I could shuttle you back to Richards if the...
As of last weekend,the 13-mi LLCL featured nearly three miles of standing water or deep mud for miles 15-18, just south of its eastern junction with the LSHT....
Four Notch Loop with a short in-and-out to a beautiful camping spot on Hidden Lake would be my choice. See map in the files section of this group: Files < Maps...
Rhoda and I had to hitch once from Mercy Fire Tower Trailhead on 2025 back to Tarkington Trailhead on 2666. Lots of cars hurt our feelings by speeding by...
Hey Trailgrazer, I'm planning 10- 15 mi a day more if trails good,it might rain M,T so maybe less. I'm hopeing to finish Fri 12th?But no hurry.. Maybe we can...
If you are going to go to or from Hidden Lake from the West, I highly recommend you load the GPX track from the files section into your GPS. We discovered to...
Walked Richards (6.7 mi) and South Wilderness (13 mi) loops over the weekend. Richards: The trails are high and dry throughout. The two ponds would make fine...
It was nice meeting you Saturday. Hope to see you out on the trail again soon. You know, the mud is really no problem if you hike barefoot... ;) Now for the...
JS Allen, Thanks for the trail condition report. I too have seen evidence of equestrian use in this area of the forest ON THE LST. I'm glad you mentioned to...
I have actually seen horse back riders on the LSHT several times. I have seen them in the Magnolia section and on the section between Big Creek Scenic area...
The four notch loop was closed Saturday at around the 7 mile mark, due to a prescribed burn. We had decided to day hike the loop rather than backpack it since...
Hi - We met on Saturday morning when I dropped water at the 4 Notch Loop trailhead. (And then later after your bushwack.) Glad you both had a good time. We...
Well, thank you Kelly.. Had it not been for your info on the loop, things wouldn't have worked out like they did! Looked like you guys were having fun. Great...

I finally figured out how to really get the attention of "trespassers" on trails...those horseback riders, motorcylcists and moutain bikers. I simply say,...
I'd start at mile 'zero' near Richards and do the section to I-45: about 35 miles if you don't mind shuttling. If you wanted to do a loop then you might...
You can start at Trailhead #6 - South Stubblefield, which is at mile 16. Hike west along the main LSHT to mile 0 at Richards. Come back east on the Little Lake...
