January 3, 2021The Loved this trail. Moderately challenging and beautiful views. Four stars because trail was somewhat hard to follow (but it was early morning and we may have just been too tired..) Mountain View trail continues off Rustling Leaves trail near the lake and looked steep and fun but we decided not to take it.
December 23, 2020November 20, 2020If you take the roadside trail to the mountain view trail and to the top, it’s easy and super stroller friendly. Maybe 1 place where you need to pick it up. I was carrying my tot but wished I had my stroller. Now coming down, I went to the trail marked to the far right. I initially checked the one closest to the bench but that looked really steep and dangerous. The “path” on the far right was very steep and dangerous as well for someone carrying a baby in a carrier or people not in peak physical shape. It’s not little kid friendly at all. I wished I had gone back the same way I had come. Once I got on ground level, it’s easy and mostly flat- stroller friendly again. 4 stars cause many splits were not marked. #gltmomtip
November 8, 2020Short hike with elevation. There’s not much of a few at the top, but still a nice hike through the woods.

August 25, 2020August 24, 2020August 15, 2020August 9, 2020Not very well marked. Park trail maps unreliable. Use GPS.
July 16, 2020A nice trail with good elevation, especially for North East Texas.
June 21, 2020May 13, 2020I love the mountain climb on this trail. Takes you to the Mountain View. There is also an alternate way without the big climb if you prefer. Going off the trail, you will find a couple of pretty waterfalls! Watch out for snakes though. I walked up on two water moccasins!
May 2, 2020Gets really steep at the end but awesome! Saw turtles and lizards and fish
February 17, 2020Great trail for beginners. Trail was not clearly marked at the top of the hill. We are beginners and obviously went down the face of the hill. It was challenging but took our time getting down. Was fun.
March 31, 2019Very enjoyable for my dog and myself.
March 30, 2019We had a great time on this trail. Beautiful mountain top view and scenery. Definitely a win.
March 18, 2019March 4, 2019I've completed this loop and variations of it multiple times. Long enough to your daily dose of exercise, beautiful with its mountain top view combined with stroll around the lake.
January 1, 2019This is rated a 'challenging' hike by the TWPD and is labeled so on their park map. Why? Because there's a huge ascent/descent from the summit of the mountain. Not kid friendly on that part. Be prepared.

First to ReviewThis is the map for Upper Mountain View Trail at the state park. A portion of this trail has been added since TP&W published their trail map online, but i walked this in its entirety today.
