Bump Gate Rd

[DouglasC]

Heading to the Thousand Trails Medina Lake preserve. Does anyone know if Bump Gate Road which runs southwest from TX 16 (where TX 46 ends) over to FM 1283 is paved and OK for a 28' Class C motorhome to travel on? I tried to look at it on Google Earth but couldn't tell whether it was paved.

Thanks for your reply. We have been to TT Medina Lake previously but have always approached from the south, not the east - - so we know to take P37 to 8th St to Florida Ave. to Spettle Rd.

Coming to the end of TX-46, the road looks poor and barely improved. It might get better down the road a bit. TX-16 & FM-1283 is an excellent road. Almost no shoulder on the 9 miles of FM 1283 to PR-37.

If you’ve never been to Medina Lake TT before, beware of your GPS. Do not turn on the small road next to the Catholic Chapel. Go to 8th St to make your turn right in front of the big TT sign.

If by some mistake you get on Spur Road, turn left on Florida Ave. GPS units take RVs to Texas Ave which is unpaved and does not go all the way through to TT. At least one rig is badly damaged each year taking Spur Road with a very tight S turn and /or Texas Ave which is really an alley which crosses a rough ditch.

Look at google maps street view. It does show it to be paved. Narrow, but paved.
Didn’t see any bump gates on it though. That could be interesting in an RV. :B
