19 acres of greenery for your biking pleasure. Smack dab in the middle of the city, you and your wheels can put some work in. This spot is family and pet-friendly and will be an enjoyable ride.

This place offers a variety of options. From the 5-mile Red Trail to another 7 miles of either beginner and intermediate trails, Oak Mountain is fun for every cycler. Oak Mountain has a $3 fee per car for entry. Bring the kids and the dogs, and enjoy a day riding trails through the wooded trails.

If you are looking for a more difficult trail, this one’s for you. At 33 miles, this trail takes around 4 hours to complete. The Trailhead is in Anniston, AL and reaches across the eastern border straight into Georgia. Although it is quite a ways to travel for a bike ride, it is definitely a fan favorite.


Ride on, Bham Bikers.
