The Horseshoe Creek Hiking Trail is a 2.5 mile hiking trail which follows portions of Horseshoe Creek from the HSB POA Mausoleum down to Wayne’s Trail near Thanksgiving Mt. and FM 2147. Linda Lambert describes the trail in her article: “It involves some walking over rocks and sloping areas, and hikers get a real feeling of Hill Country nature as they walk through wooded areas with the soothing sounds of Horseshoe Creek bubbling up out of limestone rock or rushing along, depending on recent rainfall. Other trail highlights include a panoramic view of HSB all the way to the Lighthouse, a small boulder field, and abundant wildlife.” The trail also includes 500 feet of ADA accessible paths.

DIRECTIONS: From Highway 2147, turn onto Thanksgiving Mt., drive to the top and turn right onto Hi Ridge at the 4-way stop. Pass the Church at Horseshoe Bay and turn left on Mountain Dew. After about ½ mile, look to the right for the Mausoleum sign. Follow the Mausoleum road another ½ mile to the entrance. There is parking at the Mausoleum. There is also limited parking on Wayne’s Trail, on the right side of Thanksgiving Mt. just as you leave Highway 2147, making it possible for groups to park a car at each end for a one-way hike. There are information signs and excellent maps at both ends of the trail.
