One of the things I love about Texarkana is the great access to nearby nature! Bringle Lake park has two parts, east and west, and both are amazing. The trailhead for the single track bike trails is on Bringle Lake Park East. There is the wider Nature Trail that runs for almost 7 miles around the lake and there are also almost 10 miles of single track trails for hiking and biking. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on these trails. Much of the trails have been built and maintained by volunteers! Trail info is available on
