About

O.P. Schnabel Park is the go-to spot for mountain bikers in San Antonio, with 8+ miles of singletrack ranging from flowy beginner loops to rocky technical lines through limestone canyon terrain. Hikers share the lower trails. The creek drainage provides decent shade in the lower sections; the ridge trails are more exposed. Trails can get muddy and slippery after rain.

Shade Details

Shaded in canyon and creek drainage; exposed on upper ridge sections.

Conditions & Tips

Avoid after rain — limestone becomes extremely slippery. Bring your own water.
