Bankhead ORV Trails
1 reviews
 3 of 5

ATV trails of 11 & 5 mile loops

Somewhat rocky in places, but also lots of sand.

Big bermed corners and lots of straight-aways, mostly contour trail.

Very fast and open, can be dangerous with two-way traffic. BE CAREFUL around blind corners!

Summary:
Obviously because this is an ATV trail it is fairly wide. While this isn't the most ideal type of trail for riders, it is really hard-packed and you can work up some pretty good speed on it, especially if you use the berms to your advantage. One word of caution, don't go riding any time when it has rained within the last day or two, it is slicker than owl's snot when it's wet... way too sloppy to be worth it. But overall, go during the week to avoid the ATVs, get out on the trail and let the hammer down and crank out some good training miles. The climbs are good enough to make you put in some effort and the descents are usually rolling and just plain fun. Keep your eyes out for wildlife, I've seen snakes, deer, turtles, armadillos, and other little critters.

Recommended Route:
On the weekends go clockwise, most of the ATVs run counterclockwise, but during the week there's usually no one out there and you can run whichever way you want. It's fun to make a figure 8 out of the two trails to make a longer route.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Pine Torch, Oak Mountain, Monte Sano
