Written Directions

This ride is in Lake Worth. Heading west from Ft Worth on 199, just as you cross the Lake Worth bridge, take your 1st left. At the crossroads turn right then left onto Watercress.follow Silver Creek to the left. After crossing a small bridge, immediately turn left onto Heron. When you reach N. Las Vegas Trail make a left, then an immediate left onto Shore View Drive. Go right on Bomber Rd, then right on Silver Creek. Follow Silver Creek to N. Las Vegas Trail and go right. At Heron go Right and follow the route backwards back to Casino Beach (199)

Scenery

A really sweet ride around Lake Worth with great scenery. Great ride in the springtime when the trees and flowers are blooming. Lots of trees growing over the roadway.

Drive Enjoyment

Lots of twisties on this ride. This is 1 lane each direction and a little narrow. Roads are for the most part in decent shape. A stretch along Silver Creek is rough and bumpy due to heavy truck traffic, but other than that it's mostly in good shape.

Tourism Opportunities

This is mostly for the ride, but there are a few parks to stop at. At the intersection of Silver Creek and N. Las Vegas Trail there is a convenience store to grab a drink or munchie.

Motorcycle Road Additional info

If you want twisties... this is a great ride. If you want a nice Sunday afternoon 2 up ride with your sweety... this is a great ride.

This is a fantastic ride. Most of the ride is a slow going winding road among trees, charming lake homes and lake side parks. The highlight is the Heron castle that simply stands out in the area. There are some dirt roads that connect with the paved roads so beware of gravel in these areas. There is White Settlement on one end of the trail and Lake Worth on the other so your never very far from a soda or gasoline. This trail begins only about 2 miles from my house and has become a Sunday afternoon tradition for me as a great way to end the weekend and start the work week. My wife will ride with me on occasion and we will head on into Azle for a catfish dinner. I have ridden many trails over the years but this is my most ridden as it is so pleasant and close to home.

I've ridden this route many times. It's very enjoyable and scenic for a Fort Worth area ride. The roads are mostly nice and curvy and the pace is leisurely. It's not a wannabe racer route.
