Pilot Knoll Trail is a 7.9 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Argyle, Texas that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Nice easy trail. Muddy at first but once you get past that it was fine.
The trails themselves are very good. Easy enough for practically anyone to go out there. But there are A LOT of ticks in the woods, so be careful & be sure to check yourselves and any animals you bring out there. In the early mornings, you can see deer & hear coyotes. When it rains heavy part of the trail gets flooded and super muddy, but there are some side trails to take around it. Some people let their dogs poop on the trails & don’t pick it up, so watch out for that. Great easy trail, but the ticks make me not want to walk my dog on them anymore. :/
Love the varied landscapes as the trail winds around and generally follows Hickory Creek. Not much change in elevation, but with a good pace, you’re sure to break a sweat. Despite 10+ cars in the parking lot, only encountered 3 others on the trail. Highly recommended!
It was a good trail! Wish it were a bit more clearly marked from the road. But we parked in front of the gates and walked to the trail which was to the left. It was a nice trial! Sad about the trash everywhere but we enjoyed it!
Very easy trail. Sometimes is a little overgrown but not to bad. Best time is during a dry spell as this trail will get muddy for days after a rain. Graffiti is an issue at Old Alton Bridge and the tunnel under 2499 but goes away after some time and you get into the trail. Took about 2 hrs from Old Alton Bridge to Pilot Knoll campground entrance.
This trail becomes muddy after it rains and some parts are completely under water.
