      Nothing surprising on Loop C. Isle du Bois Status quo...loose scrabble rock; permanently embedded rock; sandy spots; a few tight turns, and a climb or three or five. Probably a few deer, too. Your climbs are rewarded with some brief,...

      Loop A serves as both the gateway and gate keeper for Isle du Bois. It's fair to say this is a "no joke" trail system. Maybe you've heard things. Maybe you've read things. Maybe you're completely oblivious. You'll know soon enough where...

      One of the more challenging trails in north Texas. Very rocky, with a lot of that being uphill, which is physically demanding. Most of the rocks are relatively small, but there are a few sections with bigger boulders to really challenge...

      Loop B gives you a taste of what's to come--tight and twisty singletrack with plenty of loose rocks, roots, and short climbs. It's IDB "light." New to off road riding? It's worth noting that IDB is built utilizing the stacked loop...
      • 90 ★ 3.8 • 5,171 ft • 37 ft • 337 •
      Loop E (West) is a beautiful stretch of singletrack with a great view of the lake. Like the deer, small rock gardens and a few sandy spots are scattered throughout the trail. There's a decent little rooty downhill followed by a...

      One can make the argument that you haven't experienced the black diamond status of Loop D when skipping Inner Loop D. It's a solid argument. Where Loop D takes pity on you and gives you moments of respite between the rock outcroppings,...
      • 90 ★ 4.0 • 1 mile • 108 ft • 328 •
      Loop E hosts truly the scariest feature of Isle du Bois...a deep, wide, and long sand-trap, surrounded by bull-nettle, poison ivy, and poison oak. It's a slog and enough to make you itchy just thinking about it. Remember that time you...
      • 75 ★ 3.5 • 4,705 ft • 36 ft • 236 •
      Whether it's intentional or not, the Blue Loop starts with a squirrel trap--a rooty chute drop that'll clue you in on the trail to come. Like most things in life, it's either a big something, or a big nothing. If you and your bike avoid...
