This park has not been around very long but already has a lot of trails. While it is only 350 acres in size there are lots of trails. You spend more time on trails than driving around trying to find the trails like at the larger parks. The trails are varied enough that most any 4x4 can find trails to be challenged by. Northwest OHV is a Texas OHV park so you need the OHV sticker to off-road there. They do not sell the stickers at the gate.

Entry fee is $25 per vehicle for 4x4 vehicles; the smaller off road toys are cheaper. They do have a discount for retired military. The gate does accept credit/ debt cards now.

Just a heads up - the entrance to Bridgeport has moved. They are now only using the Endeavor Bridgeport entrance. It is accessible by turning onto the Endeavor Bridgeport at the last light before the old entrance.

Facilities: There are restrooms in the same building as the gate house at the front gate. They are the standard "park restrooms" but do have running water. They are the only restrooms in the entire park. The parking lot at the front gate has several large trees that provide great shade during the summer. In the middle of the park is a large pavilion that has a good view over looking the southern part of the park and the city of Bridgeport. The gate house does have a large air compressor for airing back up when leaving the park. They have two hoses off of the compressor with the standard air chucks for filling tires.


Roads/ Trails: The trails are decently marked with the level of the trail when the sign was put up. The rain has changed the trails so it is a best practice to scout the trails before just driving off into them. Some of the trails now have bypasses out at the top that are not shown on the map.


Camping: Camping is only allowed on the second Saturday of each month. Right now they do not have water/ electricty/ dump stations so it is primitive only. They do allow access to the restrooms but do not have showers.


Signs/ Markings: They have the standard signs with diamonds for the trails. Not all trails have the signs at this time.

I enjoy this park, because you don't have to drive a lot between trails, and the level of toughness varies for all types of vehicles.

Just a heads up to anyone looking to go out to Bridgeport soon - the game wardens are starting to go out there now. There were a few other discussions in other groups about the wardens handing out tickets. Nobody said how much the tickets were but lots of people said they immediately stopped wheeling and went to the nearest place (half hour away) to get stickers.

The newer trails they have recently cleared and some of the older trails are really hardening up. @fsbrain03 and I walked a few today - pretty sure you would have to be a spider or squirrel to get through some of the trails now.
