This was my first time downhill mountain biking so I opted for Intro to Spider Mountain (beginners lessons). Absolutely loved it! Chris was super busy because of the storms that pushed through the day before, but took his time and showed me the ropes. He related the lesson to things I was familiar with and made me comfortable with my body mechanics on the bike. He brought me to the skills park for a ride to get me in the groove and then we hit the trails. It was like having a buddy teaching me new skills. I can't say enough about my experience here, started on the greens and ended up finishing on mid-level blues. All the staff were amazing and helpful. I'll definitely be back, and will be bringing my wife and kid! read more

Spider Mountain Bike Park - Ski lift - Mountain Biking Near Me - Burnet, Texas

Not a bad place to ride, but the lift will not only scratch your rims terribly as your bike hangs, but the people who unload your bikes at the top tend to damage frames as well, while unloading. Seems they could do a little work, to show they care a lot about your bikes, but they don't. New covers for the bike hooks doesn't cost a lot. Not sure why they wouldn't upkeep the gear at the park... read more

Ok, this a mountain biking park. I'm 64 and WAY overweight. These two things don't match. But wait! Spider Mountain has a ski lift to take you and your bike to the top. Eight trails, easy to harder than hell, so take your pick. SO, why am I here? For $15, you can ride the lift to the top of the mountain, enjoying the view on the way up. From the top of the mountain is a GREAT view of lake Buchanan. At the top there is only one picnic table with a view of the lake and the trees make you pick and choose where you can see the lake. With just a little tree trimming and a couple more tables, up top could be really enjoyable for those of us that don't ride. On the ride down, again, a great view. On any given weekend, I'll pick a section of Texas, and find things to do there. For $15, this was a great time and we'll probably do it again. Oh, and if you are a mountain biker, your gonna LOVE it! read more

This place used to be amazing. Its washed out. So many rocks it was unbearable. They need to fill in some holes. For $65 this should be a bike haven. Not going back until its fixed read more

Heard about Spider Mountain on YouTube, came and checked it out and now it's a must stop at for lift assist mountain biking just outside Burnet, TX! So happy to find like minded riders, great little food shack, bike rentals and an all in one apparel store for any last minute riding items. read more

This place is soo much fun. Wear your pads, helmet and adult diapers, you might need them. 350ft up a mountain on a ski lift, from the top there's a beautiful view of lake Buchanan. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I live in San Antonio but it's well worth the money and drive up to burnet. I would spend the whole summer there if I could afford it. read more

Spider Mountain Bike Park - My bike at the top of spider mountain - Mountain Biking Near Me - Burnet, Texas

They are price gouging tourists that are there for the eclipse by over $40 a ticket. They should just be like all other businesses in the area and appreciate the influx of business we are bringing, not try and scam us. read more

We found this place on a YouTube video and had to stop on our way to Tallahassee. Great trails. Super groomed. Only thing that was a bummer, no lift. Lift only runs Friday through Monday. Boyfriend was so pumped about this place, he peddled to the top to hit the trails. Totally worth it!!!!! Staff is awesome!!!!! read more

Spider Mountain Bike Park - A man and his trail dog - Mountain Biking Near Me - Burnet, Texas

I'm moving to Texas from California and am so grateful that there is a random bike park in Texas to ride. Not too many options here but still plenty to have a lot of fun. I mostly stick to the green or blue trails that they have here and I consider my skill level between beginner/intermediate. The folks here were really nice and I had a great time. read more

My husband and I took our 11y/o son and had so much fun at Spider Mountain Bike Park. There are trails for every level of rider and they are uniquely marked so that you feel like you are on a mountain in CO. This place has a real resort feel and is well kept. They have thought of everything from help getting your bikes on the lift to water and bathrooms both at the bottom and top. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Every. Single. One of them, especially the guy servicing the bikes, Joe. He went above and beyond to make sure our rides were setup properly and we were having fun! I also hear if you stay at the lodge, you get a free lift ticket, but we camped right at the bottom of the lift. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. We will be back soon! read more

If you want a mountain bike rush, this is the place. Great chairlift system take you to the top of the hill, then pick your trail and down you go with all sorts of twists and turns. There are easier to extreme trails, so pick carefully and learn trail before trying to set a speed record. You definitely need to have some basic skill with braking, body placement for unlevel terrain before attempting, so hit your local trails first. Enjoy! read more

Lift access park in Texas is great. Not a lot of runs, but I can deal with that. Runs are short, but again I can deal with that because it's all we have for a downhill park. My issue is with the bike rentals. First, they don't offer online reservations. First come first serve. Best to camp close by or catch a motel. I arrived on a Friday 30 min after they opened. Mind you I drove in from Houston, so a 4 hour drive. Only 3 bikes left in my size. All 3 were Devince's. All 3 were in horrible shape. Dropper post on one didn't work. Dropper lever on another was broke and rode like crap. Third bike had derailleur issues. None of the bikes were adjusted to me suspension wise. Just grab a bike a go. And yes, parks in CO will do a basic suspension adjustment according to rider weight on rentals. So basically I'm totally put off on Devince bikes forever. read more

Bare bones amenities (no running water) and a small amount of runs, but you leave with a huge smile on your face and at the end of the day that's what matters. Texas' only lift serviced bike park, and the only year-'round lift serviced bike park in North America, Spider dishes up downhill goodness across only eight named runs (one green, five blues, and two blacks). Prices are steep at $50 a day for a lift pass / wristband, so this isn't an every weekend type place but it sure is tonnes of fun for when you're able to make it work out. Rentals are available if you're not comfortable bombing down on your own rig, and all the staff is very friendly. Be sure and pack some extra water, a lunch, and a change of clothes for the long car ride home. read more

Very bad customer service, attendant for lift ti let's would not even look up to help people at the window. She needs a class on customer service, or find a different job. read more

Awsome bike park awesome people food truck has good food and good priced! If you want to go to spider mountain I recommend to buy a day pass a week or two in advance so it will be 20-30$ compared to 60 when you walk in the door! read more

This park has many different levels of trails. However I would recommend a full face helmet and pads!

This place is AWESOME and the people are GREAT! Ski lifts take you up the mountain, you ride a mountain bike down. Green, blue, and black trails for all skill levels. Lots of campgrounds and places to stay nearby, lots of other things to do in the area. read more
