Just starting out? Looking for easy riding on trails that the whole family can enjoy?

Monte Sano State Park: (PDF)
- Family Biking Trail: ~4.9 mile long single track on top on the mountain.
- Gravel road: ~1.5 mile out and back. You can even continue past the gravel on flat double track to the overlook at O'Shaugnessee Point.
Hayes Nature Preserve
- Near Hampton Cove, and the Flint River there are miles of flat smooth dirt trails including board walks.
Wheeler Wildlife Refuge:
- There are many miles of dirt roads along the Tennessee River and running through Wheeler Wild Life Refuge. Located off of Joly B Rd. at the end of County Line Rd. on the border of Limestone and Madison counties. Dirt parking lot is about a mile down on the gravel section of Joly B. Watch for closed gates, just go around them. NOTE: Hunting is allowed on the Refuge.

Looking something a little more challenging?

Wade Mountain Preserve and Trails:
- Approximately 11 miles of trails on a combination of Land Trust and private land and TVA easements. The trails are moderately technical single-track that ring he west and south sides of Wade Mountain. View the Land Trust maps.

Wet Trails

Once again, please try to avoid riding on Monte Sano when the trails are wet. The amount of damage done when riding in wet conditions is tremendous compared to dry trails. If you must ride off-road go to Colonial Hills, or ride the gravel roads at Wheeler Wild Life Refuge.
