This map includes biking and hiking trails beyond the ILC's border. The trails are part of the Big Cedar Wilderness Trails (Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association - DORBA) biking trail system that includes many trails between the ILC and Mountain Creek Church. The trails are one way trails for bikes with Ranger being the main trail, and with many loops off of Ranger and then back to Ranger. If you are following the correct direction for bikers, there are minimal arrows and directional signs to help you stay on the trail. But if you are walking in any other direction, it is very easy to get lost. It's highly recommended that you use a phone app that shows you where you are on the trails.
This map provides some help and can be downloaded and used without an app, but it will not indicate your location on the map.
Interactive maps are available below that can be installed on phones and show your location on the map as you hike. These maps are offline so they do not require Internet connectivity.
TrailForks is another phone app that shows where you are on the DORBA trails. It does not work for the non-shared ILC trails. It works best with phones with Internet access.
You should only use the DORBA trails when they are open. They are closed on Mondays and Sunday mornings, and other days if the trails are too wet. To find out their condition, go to https://www.trailforks.com/region/big-cedar-wilderness-trails/
