Equestrian Trails at Benbrook Lake

Part of the Nation Trails System, Benbrook Lake offers a 14-mile equestrian trail, with trailheads in Dutch Branch Park, South Holiday Park, and Westcreek Circle, while passing through North Holiday Park. If you wish to camp during your trail ride, equestrian camping is allowed on Site 65 in Sough Holiday Park, and throughout Westcreek Circle. Click Here for a map of the current horse trail (not currently available).

An additional 10 miles of trails are located in Rocky Creek Park. These trails are for day-use trips only, and camping is not allowed anywhere along the trails. Equestrain camping plans are being developed for certain sites in Rocky Creek Park, but equestrian camping is currently not allowed in this area. The trailhead is located just outside the Rocky Creek Park gatehouse.

If you wish to help maintain Benbrook's trails, contact the Texas Equestrian Trail Riders Association (TETRA) region 4 representative.

While riding the trails, we ask that you please observe the following rules:

  • Biking is not permitted on equestrian trails
  • All dogs MUST be on a leash no longer than 6 feet
  • Trails are closed from sunset to sunrise
  • Stay on the trails. Horses are not allowed in parks, except for designated equestrian campsites.
  • Use provided water troughs. Please do not lead your horse to the lake for water.
