We keep Zars clean!!!! DBSA has been leasing Zars for some 20+ years. The landowner appreciates the way we've taken care of the place. Please be sure to pick
up after yourselves so we can continue to enjoy this property.
Member access for open riding is 24/7 with the exception of work hours during work days, all day on race days, and the morning of Family Fun Days. Zars has ample parking area, picnic
tables, lots of shaded pit
area, and porta potties (which are normally serviced weekly). Bring your own food and water. Zars is approx 1/2 mile wide by 1 1/2 miles long (368 acres) and has approx 45 miles of
trails including single track, 2-track, sandy field tracks, and hill climbs. The
property has some fun
elevation changes as you
approach and explore the San Antonio river
area. The
terrain is diverse, ranging from
loose and sandy to clay and hard
pack. We also have a 3 acre area (trails are wide, clay hard pack, flat, and ribboned for direction) set aside for the
"little ones" to ride that is within walking distance of the parking area. Note that cars/trucks are not permitted beyond the parking area with the exception of work days.
The parking area doubles as a campsite area and members are welcome to camp. We try to keep a good stock of firewood available for members to use on site. Please don't take (steal) firewood from the property.

There are
cattle on the property and they are so used to motorcycles that you have to give them time (and sometimes just a bit of encouragement) to
move out of the way. Also, it's not unusual to see wildlife (deer, armadillos, snakes of all sorts, javalina, feral hogs, owls, hawks, turkeys, etc) on Zars.
