Hidden Falls Adventure Park

I went there for the first time on 3÷17÷16 after going to Inks State Park. This was my first time off roading and was a bit intimidated by the reviews. I was also concerned about getting lost due to some reviews mentioning poor trail signs. I did see some signs that were knocked down, but overall I think the trails and map are accurate. However, if you’re not careful you can definitely get lost. I stuck to level 1 – 3 trails because it was only my wife and I alone in our Jeep. I don’t recommend wheeling alone. We were in a stock JKU Rubicon and had no issues. If I hadn’t been alone I would’ve done other trails; once your there you get an adrenaline rush! Know your limits or you can get in some trouble! We tried renting an ATV from them but they didn’t have any for the day. We will definitely be back with a second vehicle and some ATVs! If you’re alone and you’re a beginner stick to level 1 – 3 trails! All in all it’s fun and worth the price.

This place is awesome and the people working there are helpful and friendly! It’s like having your own 3000 acre ranch to putt around on. My 12 year old son got a new ATV for Christmas and couldn’t wait to break it in. We went out to Hidden Falls on a Sunday morning and had an absolute blast! Check in was easy and I rented an ATV from the onsite rental outfit for myself. Do yourself a favor and hire a guide the first time out. This place is HUGE and it’s easy to get lost. Our guide Zach was super helpful and made it a point to take it easy given my son’s inexperience. If you go out there follow the rules, don’t be stupid, and you’ll have an incredible time. We can’t wait to go back when the weather warms up a bit!

nice place to get away for a day of riding it was our first Texas ride. my wife and I had more fun over at the jeep trails with our quads to make it more challenging with the rocky hills to climb. still nothing beets the mountains of WV and PA were we are from

Came here with a bachelor party with 10 guys and we had a great time. Did a 2 hours atv/​utv/​dirt bike tour and then 2 hours of shooting shotguns at 5 stand. Would definitely recommend!

Loved it! Came here to get a taste of the Central Texas off road scene and was not disappointed.
I’m pretty new to wheelin, but that wasn’t a factor at all. At check in I let the guy at the window (wish I remembered his name) know it was my first time at the park and I was new to the sport. No problem! He gave my Jeep a once over amd told me the path to take, and put options to get a little more extreme if I felt comfortable. Well, I chose the more challenging route and had an adrenaline filled blast!
I went on a Saturday afternoon and had no problem playing on any trail I wanted forwards and back. I paid the day rate plus a passenger and left with no regrets (I was on the trail for 2.5hrs tops). Next time I’m bringing lunch and plenty of water and staying all day. And yes, there will be many more next times in my future.
Thanks Hidden Falls Adventure Park!!!

Our family has been going there for 5 years. We were members for four of those years. Their fees had become too ridiculous to purchase another membership. Used to be a good time but has become over run with less than desirable types who over drink and fight through the night. The last time we went (which will be the last time we ever go) I was embarrassed to have brought my family out there. The group next to us got into a drunken fight that resulted in the park Rangers having to come and break things up. We packed up and left and will never go again.

It was our friend’s daughter’s birthday party. We had a total of 15 people in our party. It costs a pretty penny to attend so as you can imagine we paid a good amount for this event. We set up the RV and our ATV’s etc at our campsite which was located closest to the riding trail. The first incident of someone in our party breaking the rules was him driving fast up to our campsite. He was stopped and told by the ranger that when in and around the camp site u have to go slow. My friend apologized and continued on. The ranger that approached was kind when addressing the issue. The second incident was one of the moms teaching her daughter how to operate the clutch on one of the ATV’s. They were going around the RV and did not have their helmets on. The same ranger addressed this issue as well. Once again he was kind. He was so kind he even approached us at the RV joking about us wanting to cook his cute chihuahua. He even asked my friend about his pretty cool ATV. So with all the kindness of course we all thought everything was good to go. It was about 4 hours later we started to notice Jeeps pulling up right in front of our RV site. One by one they would park. It started in a line, then there was so many they made a huddle. If I had to guess there was about 10 Jeeps maybe more. I personally thought they were gathering for an event that was kicking off or something. Not really paying it any mind. Until one of the wives noticed they kept looking at us and talking on their radios. We still continued on hanging out at the RV, all of our husbands headed to trails and the wives stayed back with the kiddos. About a good 20 mins go by and these Jeeps with a bunch of men standing outside their vehicles were still there. Mind you these men are pretty big men. At least 250 to 300+ pounds. To some they could be viewed as pretty intimidating. I believe that was their intent. I can’t think of any other reason for their presence. So we wait for them to approach us because at this point it’s clear they are there for a reason. In the mean time my daughter and her friend were riding on their little ATV past where the Jeeps were parked and I noticed her ATV broke down due to the chain coming off so me and one of the wives start heading past the Jeeps to get the girls. It was at this time two of the men finally decided to make a move. They headed towards another wife that was left sitting by herself in front of the RV so we immediately turned right back around to head to the RV. We sent one of our oldest daughters to get the ATV and the girls that broke down. As we walked to the RV we were then approached by the two rangers. We asked if we could help him. He says are you the wive of —— and my friend says yes. He then says well I need to talk to him can you call him. Now mind you as I stated earlier all the husbands had headed to the trail. Which he and all the other guys knew because they had been there watching. So to appease him I text one of the passengers knowing they were busy on the trail and that it was highly likely that they would not be on their phones for obvious reasons. So he waited a few minutes and asked again if we had called which at that point I then stated, sir they are driving on the trails they shouldn’t be on their phones for safety reasons anyway. He indirectly agreed. Then proceeded to state he had gotten multiple complaints from multiple rangers about —– breaking the rules. When asked to be specific about the complaints he named the two incidences I mentioned earlier. One incident —– was involved and the other a wive and child was involved. Not — — . So I pointed that out. Also, it was only one ranger not multiple rangers. So it was obvious where the convo was headed. He also mentioned my daughter driving her ATV around camp which was prob 10 miles an hour if even that and she happened to be racing two other children driving their ATV at the same speed and those girls didn’t have any shoes on at all! Talk about a safety hazard. During this entire convo you could still see those exact same girls driving around in the exact same fashion. I didn’t even address that part at all. I was already over the convo before it even got started considering how they tried so hard to use intimidation up front. So needless to say he ended it with threats that if he is told «one more thing, one more thing, I don’t care what it is you are out of here». Oh I almost forgot he also stated «I don’t know what kind of temperament — — – has but I would be be glad to talk to him». We told him we would let him know. So the guys returned and we explained to them what happened. We decided we weren’t welcomed and left. We were made to feel like we were targeted specifically possibly due to having tattoo sleeves and being the only minority group there. The guys there are unprofessional bullies with huge egos. Their mission is accomplished bc we will never return there.

Great park for jeeps however I am only giving 3 stars because the trails are poorly marked. I would go 4 or 5 otherwise. I have a small child and found myself as a new jeeper going down trails I got lost on and that were rather difficult. Not the level 1 – 2 stuff I thought I was going on. I would ask they PLEASE better mark the trail entrances with more signs as this is a safety issue in my opinion. It is really frustrating trying to compare the map with some of the trail heads you come up with to gauge your location. Really seems like something management should address ASAP. SIGNS PLEASE!

Know this before you go!
Hidden Falls Adventure Park is a SEPARATE business from Hill Country Adventure Rentals! Their billboard and website is misleading if not thoroughly read which really disappoints me because it’s proclaimed as a Christian business — and I don’t believe in being deceitful or misleading.
If you bring your ATV, you pay the park fees for the HFA which are affordable. If you want to rent their ATVs (via HCA) it’s crazy expensive! Their main website (
) leads you to believe you can rent their machines for a really affordable price — but again, it’s 2 different businesses. It looks like a blast if you’re willing to spend well over $ 600 for a family of 4 for 3 hrs PLUS park fees of $ 100 — or bring your own ATVs and just pay park fees.

Check both websites and call in advance to know what you’re getting into before driving out there!

A bunch of us rented ATVs (and one dirt bike). We were mostly first timers, so we stuck to the easiest trail. It was by far the hardest ATV trail I’ve been on, and we reached one steep rocky hill that was just too hard/​dangerous for us. When we turned around to head back, the combination of terrible signs and one-​way trails caused us to get completely lost, even with a map. We were finally told by a passing biker that the only way back was by taking an unmarked trail that crossed a ravine, something which the employee told us we should never do.
When my friend’s bike flipped and he hurt his shoulder, we tried calling the emergency number. Every time we called, it went to voicemail.
Also, the dirt bike stopped working and couldn’t get into second gear, so my friend had to ride in first gear for half the ride.
A terrible experience overall.

What a privilege to be able to have this land open to the public. I love being a member. Every time I come out I have a wonderful time with my buddies and the staff are very nice and respectful. Thank you hidden falls for such an awesome place to go have some fun!

This place is perfect! Rode a couple 4 wheelers as a first timer, and had the time of my life. It’s HUGE, so you can spend hours on a adventure. Lance was so helpful! Definitely recommend coming here for a good time.

I have mixed feelings about this place. For good reason and complete justification.
This place, as a whole, is really great. It offers a lot, but expect to pay a premium price. There are several camping areas to choose from, one with RV hook-​ups and one without. The showers and restrooms are very clean. And the view is beautiful.
The trails are great. When you check-​in, you are handed a map that is geared towards what you are driving… a 4×4 map, an ATV map, or a motorcycle map of all the different trails. Keep in mind that there is 2700 acres that make up this park.
The trails and the experience were amazing. Perfect day trip for all levels of off-​roading. We saw all kinds of off-​road vehicles there.
With that said, I need to disclose a couple of things. Good, bad, or indifferent… Before you go here, you must understand and realize that this place is privately owned by a CHRISTIAN family. I say this for good reason. I came here with a group of approximately 25 people to stay the weekend, with at least 10 – 15 more people coming for the day. We all paid to be there, the same amount as everyone else. Without delving too much into details, we were made to not feel very welcome at the park… for the overnight stay. As beautiful as the camp grounds are, the park staff was not the friendliest of the bunch. I understand that we were surrounded by families, but we paid the same amount as everyone else, and more because we had more people, to be there. With that said, my problem does not lie with the fact that we may have slightly overstepped the boundaries with the music level, but with the way that the staff handled it. We were given one warning and told, several times within the course of one conversation, that it was our only warning and that the next time we would be told to leave. No courtesy, no «hey we’ll let you know if your music creeps up too loud again,» just a straight «this is your only warning.» Having been raised in a Christian background myself, I felt like the situation could have been handled a little differently. In addition, on Sunday one or the jeeps with our group lost both his drive shafts and had to be towed out of the park back to Austin. Apparently that was an issue for the staff… they came up and had words with the tow truck. Don’t know why, but it happened.
Anyway, my personal recommendation, for what it is worth is this: go here. Absolutely. The grounds and the trails are amazing. First class. And if you have a family, stay here also! The owners cater to families. But if you are not with a family and, say, have a big group of friends that is simply just looking to get away for the weekend and have a good time, stay elsewhere and just pay for a day pass. It’s not worth the headache of having to deal with the park staff.
That was my only problem, the staff. Other than that, I had a really great time. If not for the staff, I would rate this a 5, hands down.

This place is Amazing! Starting at the front Office Brett is who we have always talked to from the first membership we bought a year ago, very knowledgable, honest and just a overall great person to deal with and always has a Smile! My husband and I bring our 3 sons ages 3 to 12yrs out here to camp and ride ATV’s! We like camping in area «A» where we can park the camper with full hook up! We are always greeted by another smiling face Anna & her pup Sassy, she looks over area «A» and does a wonderful job keeping up with the campers and there are always clean shower and bathrooms, (the CLEANEST I’ve ever seen at a camp ground). There are kid riding areas that are fun and easy for little guys & very close to camp, our 3 yr old loves to ride them (four hours & hours) we have to peel him off. So many awesome trails from straight & smooth for some speed or rocky climbing some easy and some to challenge you to face your fears!
Rangers are all over looking out for safety & or coming by to say «Hi». We have NEVER came across rude, disrespectful campers! Everyone is friendly and here to have fun, and looking out for others!
I would recommend Hidden Falls to everybody, give it a try! They have all types of trails for 4×4 (jeeps, trucks etc.) dirt bikes and ATV’s, razors etc. Most trails are dedicated to one type from easy to extremely challenging, miles and miles of trails. If you like the mud head out after a good rain you be covered!

We took our ’07 Wrangler JK with a 3 inch lift on the 4×4 trails and were safely able to traverse levels 1 – 3 (scale of 1 – 5) and had a blast at Hidden Falls. Simply talk to the person at the check in counter and let them know your vehicle type and they will explain where the best places are using a map you get to keep. The trails are well-​marked and on a Friday afternoon we felt like the only people out there. The only others we saw were a few ATVs and dirt bikes. We were bummed not to see more mud to splash through, but this is no fault of the owners, we are used to the Midwest where mud is on every trail. If you are looking for some rock crawling fun, this is the place for you.

Camped & rode UTV & motorcycles here! Excellent place! Could not be more friendly and fun! The staff are so very nice, the place is kept clean and the trails are for all levels of fun! We would recommend to any & all!

Highly recommend!!! Rented ATVs and had a blast out on the trails. The young man who helped us was nice. The experience overall was a ton of fun. I’ll be back! (A little on the pricy side… But can’t really put a price on a good time.) :)

I too witnessed poor attitude by the owner/​CEO. Not as friendly as they claim. Decent trails, but would be too concerned to be sued by the owner or charged with a crime over poor land use management on the parks end. I will never go back.

This review only covers the Full Size 4×4 Trails.
We recently bought a Nissan Xterra 4×4 — after we bought it, we discovered that places to actually go off road are few and far between. The answer was Hidden Falls.
The folks there are extremely kind, and very helpful, and the number of 4×4 trails and the amount of ground it covers is mind-​boggling. While it is expensive, considering the amount of terrain that you can cover, it’s well worth it.
They have trails of various difficulty, and since we have a stock 4×4 we have only tackled Levels 1, 2, and a single 3 — the ratings can be a little off. Feeder Creek was a Level 1, but the first right turn was definitely vicious. If you have a stock 4×4, don’t ignore Park Roads 2 and 3, or Valley Road — these are actually a heck of a lot of fun.
The bathrooms and showers are the cleanest I’ve seen at any campground
If you love off roading a membership is an incredible deal — a membership gets you a gate key, and the ability to come and go 24/​7, including weekdays when the park is closed to the public. For noobs like us, the ability to go when it’s less crowded and practice has been well worth it.
People are really friendly, and the land is absolutely beautiful — a must drive is Park Road 3, as the view from Wildcat Mountain is breathtaking.
