ADDRESS ~
Woodrock Ranch, County Road 172, Bluff Dale, Texas

DIRECTIONS ~
From Fort Worth: As you drive southwest from Fort Worth on Hwy 377, you will go through Benbrook, Wheatland, Cresson, Granbury, and Tolar. Just before you reach Bluff Dale, you will cross the Paluxy River and then a railroad track. Just after the railroad track is a sign, “County Road 172” with an arrow pointing to the left. In front of you, on the left side of the road, is the Bluff Dale community sign. You will turn left onto County Road 172 that runs right behind the Bluff Dale sign. It is almost a U-turn. From there, you will drive 2.6 miles until you come to a sharp right turn. Instead of making that turn, you will turn into the entry gate on your left. There will be a faded blue sign, “Woodrock Ranch”, on the right side of the entry gate.

From Stephenville: You will drive northeast on Hwy 377 to Bluff Dale. Just after you pass the Valero convenience store on your right, you will see the road curve sharply to the left. Do not make that turn. If you look directly in front of you, there will be a sign, “County Road 172”. Turn off of Hwy 377 and go straight on County Road 172. From there, you will drive 2.6 miles until you come to a sharp right turn. Instead of making that turn, you will turn into the entry gate on your left. There will be a faded blue sign, “Woodrock Ranch”, on the right side of the entry gate.

Riders must be a member of TTC .

Thanks, and Happy Trails
