Take your favorite route to Brownwood.

From there, follow the MMP south across the 44 and Turnpike Bridges.

Turn left at the Turnpike bridge exit and follow the MMP east for a couple of miles. The softball field will be on your right at Everglades.

It's about 20-30 min @ 10 mph from Brownwood to Everglades.

Well you didn’t say rec trail route so the quickest would be straight down Morse cross 44 stay in the bypass lane at the first roundabout and you will be on Warm Springs. Cross turnpike and your destination will be on your right. Stay safe out there

Take your car, I sold my bike to many on the paths and roads don't watch out for bikers or walkers.
