Double Lake Mountain Bike Trail winds through the pine trees and hardwoods of Double Lake Recreation Area for eight miles.  The single-track Double Lake Mountain Bike Trail is maintained by the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Forest Service and the Houston Area Mountain Bike Riders Association (HAMBRA).

As you enter the recreation area, take the left fork (FS210A) and go past all the camping loop and group areas. Park by the restrooms as the trail head is behind them. From the trail head, go left at the first fork, so you will travel clockwise and be facing the trail markings. You will wind up back at this parking area.

Dangers are three road crossings, other bikers, hikers (who are off the hiking trail), deadfall, mosquitoes, low branches, tree roots and soft corners. There are three bridges on the trail. Make sure you hit them square on. If you have a problem, the trail parallels the park road system, so you can probably get help.
