Trussville Park

So far about 4 miles of technical fast singletrack and another 2-3 miles of fire road. Well built, good drainage, tight corners, log crossings, slick rock, something for everyone. More trail is being built so total will be around 8 miles. A badly needed trail in the B'ham area to take some of the strain off Oak Mountain. Being built by BUMP - i.e. built by bikers for bikers and not inherited from hikers.

Summary:
a little bit of everything!! switchbacks, rocks, short climbs, and tight singletrack. a little on the short side of things but the best night riding in town.

Recommended Route:
do a loop clock wise then turn around and trace your steps.

Summary:
Nice trail for those of us in the Trussville Clay area. Pretty diverse for such a short ride, although the ride is longer than it was a couple of years ago. No huge climbs, but enough to get your heart beating (at least mine). Several log crossings, some tight single track, a mile or so of flat gas line (like a dirt road), a pretty fast downhill singletrack with slick rocks, some opportunities to get airborne. Like the others mentioned, it will take a little while to figure out the best loop for you, but it is a fun ride.

Recommended Route:
I park at the baseball fields, go across the wooden bridge to the upper parking lot and start there. Switchbacks work all the way up the 120 foot elevation change with log and bridege crossings (all single track). There are a few cut ups for the harder climbers. At the top there is an area that you can use as a practice area. Go on down the hill...pretty tight again with some big slick rocks near the bottom. Go across the road and follow the trail to the right. Just before you get back to the ball fields, turn left and follow this trail past the ball fields and back out to the road. Cross the road and run back up to the original parking lot - I'm guessing this is about a 4 mile loop. There are a lot of side trails and some I have never been on. Enjoy!

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Oak Mountain of course.

Summary:
Nice trail but I recommend riding with someone that knows the trail or just riding around and figuring it out yourself that is what I did. It wasn't to hard to figure out.

Recommended Route:
Right when you come in the gate, the trail starts out down hill.

Summary:
Pretty good trails. Good alternative to Oak Mountain if you're on this side of town. I would recommend riding with someone who knows the trails first to understand the layout or the full circuit.

Reviewed by: Gary , from Jasper AL

Summary:
The section from the tennis courts to the soccer fields starts with an incline but the rest is easy. The section that starts at Pump House Trail and ends at Pump House Road is the best section of all. It has several switchbacks and toward the end of this section there is an area which has a lot of smooth rocks. The last section from Pump House Road to the parking lot has got some good riding. All of the climbs are short.

Recommended Route:
I started at the parking lot above the baseball fields and went clockwise.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Oak Mountain.. of course
