Look for trailheads near Weatherford, in the community of Garner, at the state park, and in downtown Mineral Wells. All four trailheads offer paved parking, drinking water and ADA-accessible restrooms. A two-mile asphalt stretch runs through the downtown Mineral Wells portion of the Trailway. The remaining 18 miles has a crushed limestone surface that is suitable for wheelchairs. The Trailway's 16 bridges have safety railings and approaches.
