Its the best alabama has to offer if only there was camping at a city owned trailhead with parking bathrooms and camping I would gladly pay $5 to park and a little bit more to camp. It would make this trail system perfect. Amazing upkeep on the trial system.

This place is an awesome trail system. I rode Baby Bear to Momma Bear/Upper Momma Bear to Cassidy through Rock Slot and came out on Bomb Dog. Bomb dog was really fast and took a small spill after getting off track. I just want to extend a thank you to Forever Wildland and everyone that has, does, and will put time into keeping the trails up. Good job guys.

Awesome mtb riding not for the timid! But for the intermediate and advanced riders with lots of up hill, rocks, drops, and long descents.

Many of the trails are easy to ride for beginners, but for us experienced riders, its got a lot of challenging trails! Great place! One of my favorite locations.

Amazing trail system right off of I-20 in the Anniston/Oxford area between Birmingham and Atlanta. The trails are challenging and fun, with plenty of climbing that rewards a rider with some epic downhill flow. I had never visited before and will certainly return soon! We rode 25 miles and never repeated a trail.

The trails here are super fun. Even it had been raining the whole week before, but it was totally ride-able. There were some muddy spots but that just added the fun to it.

One of my favorite places in the area to bike featuring 22 miles of well maintained, marked, and mapped trails. With varying difficulty. The main trail head features a fire pit and picnic tables with ample parking and toilet facilities. If youre into biking or hiking or looking for something fun free and interesting to do in the area this is the place be. The trails are great Ive ridden the 3 bear loop and never felt like I was pedaling back up the mountain. The first leg of mama bear features 2 miles of downhill riding that is just exhilarating! Come try the trails out for your self you will not be disappointed.

Nice trail head, porta potties, changing room. Trails are great too! This IS a mountain, in the south east so there is climbing involved (LOL) and rocks and roots but theres a lot of smooth flow and most features have a bypass route. Overall this is a great place to ride.

A hidden gem for mountain biking and hiking/trail running. Quite a few miles of trails with markings and maps throughout the system, but it is still easy to get turned around if you aren’t familiar with the layout. GPS with preloaded trail maps will make your day much easier, or just have a good time playing on the trails until you find the parking lot again. Beautiful woods!

Great place to bike ride or hike. There are two different entrances but most everyone uses the Coldwater side over the Wellborn one. Very peaceful and beautiful. Great anytime of the year.

Great trail system let down only by how rough the trails can be in places. Best ridden on a FS bike. Trails are well marked with maps at every junction. Trail regulars are super friendly. Change house, fire pit, etc. at upper trail head.

Amazing trail. Mama bear was a great shake down for this beginner. Porta potties were clean and serviced. Great maps available on line and each trail junction has a map and indicates where you are. Great all day network.

Pretty good trailhead. Porta-potties, changing booth, picnic tables, bulletin boards. Enough parking space for maybe 30 cars.

Review №48

A great trail experience (if you love climbing!). Visiting in late fall ensured there was plenty of leaf cover on the rocky trail, but it didnt stop my group from hitting them hard. Cassidy is quite the tiresome climb, especially twice, but it was worth it for a trip down Bomb Dog and Goldilocks. The trails are well marked and maps are located at major intersections, making it difficult to get confused.

Coldwater has fast, challenging singletrack with many rock gardens and natural obstacles. The terrain is technical and climbs frequent, punchy, and rocky, with gnarly downhill payoffs. This place is very flowy and fun.

Review №55

I am not sure why this place doesnt have any previous reviews. It is one of the best mountain biking destinations I have visited recently. The trails are suitable for riders of all levels. Enough mileage to keep you riding there all day, and not get bored. Link up with some locals at Wigs Cycles in Anniston, and go for a Dirty Pizza Ride on Tuesday afternoons, and youre in for a fun ride! Pick up some recommendations for a ride, and you wont get lost. There is plenty of signage at every intersection throughout the park.Changing station located at Trailhead. Parking lot big enough to fit any sized vehicle. Gated entrance monitored by local police for a good sense of security. Port-a-potty located at TH.
