Like many in the McDade area, Yegua Knobbs was heavily impacted by an ice storm last year. Most of our trails were closed due to the damage. We were able to restore and re-open the trails with help from onX Adventure Forever Grants. Sandylands, Space Needle and the Easy Knobb trail are back!

This property is undergoing extensive wildlife habitat restoration in partnership with Texas Parks and Wildlife - please plan to leave no trace and pack out any trash.
