Weekend Warrior Summary:
Great trails! It's small enough area to not get lost too bad. Very fun for a beginner (me) and has some other areas that are pretty hard. I haven't been on all the trails yet. Here is GOOD map of the Timberlake area. The link is at the end of the review. I'm not scared of regular sized spiders but those ones on the trail are friggin huge! I would have to clear a trail of all the spiders first then ride it again at full speed. haha

Weekend Warrior Summary:
For those wondering the current state of the trails, they are in fantastic condition post hurricanes. A lot of work has been done and they are in great shape. As to the poster below who said why the bridges were removed over the creek...I was part of the crew that installed the bridges. There were three of us that were working hand in hand with the Jackson Guard when they were installed. The Guard was giving us dumptruck loads of mulch to fortify the trails, and we even rode the trails with the person who had the position to OK the trails and bridges. In fact the base commander of Eglin AFB rode the trails with us and commented on the fantastic construction of the bridges. What caused the bridges to be removed was a new group of beurocrats at the Jackson Guard who want the area for killing animals and harvesting wood for paper mulch. I guess that pays more than the $5 range passes. Recommended Route:
All the trails mentioned below are again open and in fantastic condition. Keep in mind you won't be able to use the bridges as the mindless beurocrats at the Jackson Guard have removed them and thus you will not be able to cross from one side of the trail system to the other. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Pinelog in Panama City, Conecuh in lower Alabama.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
The trails took a beating from Ivan so the are all unridable as of now. Anyone who would like to help clear them please contact me. I have a small group that spent the entire weekend trying to make a dent in the mess and we have just about got stinky creek up and running again. Another day and it should be good to go.
I know that most have problems with their house and that is more important but when you can come out please do. We will keep going until it's done and then start on UWF in P'cola. It's going to take time and help from anyone who can find some time.
For everyone that rides/runs/hikes these trails lets try to at least bring them back to what they were before. Recommended Route:
As of right now about the only thing you can do is ride around the parking lot. Other recommended trails in the same area:
UWF in P'cola, Chickasabog in Mobile

Weekend Warrior Summary:
People complain allot about these trails and its unfair to the people who took the time to cut them and those who maintain them. They offer a little bit of everything. Riders need to remember where they are, its not the mountains, but the pan-handle of Florida. I ride these trails 2-3 times a week and Im never bored and the pace which I am breathing lets me know Im working. Im just starting to find my way around in this 20+ mile trail system. I still have more trails to check out. Bottom line is if you except your location and take advantage of the resource we have here you will enjoy riding on Timber lake trails. Recommended Route:
Enter at the Timberlake trailhead following it around to the left, which I believe, picks up the trail known as Stinky Creek. Stinky creek will take you to Timber Lake. Once you’re at the lake turn right and go to the other side of the creek and enter Skinny Dip. This trail will lead you onto a trail not on the map but marked as Switch Back. From here enter Cramper trail, which brings you back to Timber Lake. Cross Timber Lake road and look for Trail Homeward Bound. This trail runs parallel to the road leading from timber lake road to Timber Lake. It ends on Timber lake road. Turn left at this point on the paved road and it’s about a 1/2-mile ride to the parking area. Ride is approximately 6 miles. Other recommended trails in the same area:
None but Alabama has some nice trails with in 3 hours. Oak mountain, Swayback are 2 I recommend.
