Mountain Biking in Mobile, Alabama

You will get a great workout on the 14 miles of trails at Chickasabogue Park. This county managed park has several challenging single track paths for experienced bikers and some easier trails for beginners all with roots, rocks, and swales to navigate.

One of the top mountain biking trail systems on the Alabama Gulf coast, the trails at the University of South Alabama (USA) offer a wide variety of challenges including a few hills, narrow bridge crossings over gullies and swales, and a chance to get up some speed over the otherwise flat terrain.

A magnificent ride through a mixed hardwood forest and wetlands along the trails of Blakeley Historic State Park. The ride is mainly over wide grass paths but then switches to a narrow dirt path as it winds its way up and down some steep hillsides and across swales, a stream, spring, and swamp over long boardwalks.

The Graham Creek Preserve bike trail is an off road mountain biking experience in Foley that explores swamps, bogs, and heavily forested areas.

A little hideaway just north of Atmore, Alabama, Little River State Forest offers cyclists in L.A. (Lower Alabama) a chance to pedal on a trail with a little elevation (a couple hundred feet). There are plenty of swales and hills and valleys to climb making the trails here challenging. And the scenery isn’t so bad, either.

Graham Creek Nature Preserve is the perfect getaway for cyclists looking to unwind after a hard day at work or to get a good workout on the preserve’s 7.5 miles of biking trails. Rated as an intermediate trail the path takes you through swamps, pine savannah, past pitcher plant bogs, and crosses streams and low lying muddy area to make it interesting.

Not technically challenging but still a fun ride through Splinter Hill Bog, a long leaf pine bog with what is described as the most “visually impressive pitcher plant bogs in the world”.
