Written Directions

This ride is in Lake Worth. Heading west from Ft Worth on 199, just as you cross the Lake Worth bridge, take your 1st left. At the crossroads turn right then left onto Watercress.follow Silver Creek to the left. After crossing a small bridge, immediately turn left onto Heron. When you reach N. Las Vegas Trail make a left, then an immediate left onto Shore View Drive. Go right on Bomber Rd, then right on Silver Creek. Follow Silver Creek to N. Las Vegas Trail and go right. At Heron go Right and follow the route backwards back to Casino Beach (199)

Scenery

A really sweet ride around Lake Worth with great scenery. Great ride in the springtime when the trees and flowers are blooming. Lots of trees growing over the roadway.

Drive Enjoyment

Lots of twisties on this ride. This is 1 lane each direction and a little narrow. Roads are for the most part in decent shape. A stretch along Silver Creek is rough and bumpy due to heavy truck traffic, but other than that it's mostly in good shape.

Tourism Opportunities

This is mostly for the ride, but there are a few parks to stop at. At the intersection of Silver Creek and N. Las Vegas Trail there is a convenience store to grab a drink or munchie.

Motorcycle Road Additional info

If you want twisties... this is a great ride. If you want a nice Sunday afternoon 2 up ride with your sweety... this is a great ride.

I've ridden this route many times. It's very enjoyable and scenic for a Fort Worth area ride. The roads are mostly nice and curvy and the pace is leisurely. It's not a wannabe racer route.

Good: It was a nice ride in July heat with the tree canopies, lake views, cookout and sunscreen smells, and low speeds.

Bad: The road is torn up in a few places and there are several blind curves. Road humps are present in the route by the some of the park areas.

Conclusion: I wouldn't trek a long way to experience this route but if you live nearby it's good, given we don't have many options. Next time I'll stop in one of the parks and seek to enjoy the environment more before moving on.

Definitely has twisty but some sections are essentially neighborhoods with lots of zero-viz driveways. More of a relaxed cruise w/ twisties. Will ride again.
