Hike or Bike Lake Mineral Wells Trailway, Mineral Wells, Texas

The Lake Mineral Wells Trailway is a 20 mile trail that follows the route of the former Weatherford, Mineral Wells and Northwestern Railway that closed entirely in 1992. The railroad was opened in 1891. Some of the line was abandoned in sections, and the rest was subsequently merged into the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1988. The following year, the line changed ownership again to the town of Mineral Wells, who purchased the line from MP and operated it as the Mineral Wells and Eastern until 1992 when the remainder of the line was abandoned. It was subsequently converted to a trailway. Bike riders who want to get in a 40 mile ride without risking life and limb on the highways. Vietnam veterans who want to stop off at the National Vietnam War Museum. Bird watchers can see an incredible variety of aviary delight from the pure white of the waterbirds near Sunshine Lake to the vibrant red and yellow birds that flit through the Texas underbrush. -
