Summary:
Made the drive down from the metro area today to try this place out. Overall, the trail is well maintained with many optional jumps, drops, see-saw, etc. The descriptions listed by other riders fit the bill, good climbs followed with fast decents, tight and techy . Big hats off to the guys who take care of the prop, trail markers make for easy navi. I plan to be back within the next few days for some more action.

Recommended Route:
Took A-Trail(5 mile; white) then took the B(2 mile; yellow) for a good finish. The trails are the same in certain areas, so you get the backside downhill twice if you ride both.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Fruit Loops(whirlpool), clear creek, ridgeland trails

Summary:
My favorite trail!...but then I may be partial! We tried to combine the best aspects and features from all the trails we've ridden thru-out the south. Only 5.09 miles long but packed with fun. 80% tight single track, and 22 wooden features(so far) The main 'A' trail has a 14' see-saw, 105' bridge over Soggy Bottom, a banked 'curvy bridge, and several creek jumps. All of these 'challenges' have optional by-passes if you're not so inclined. The Black Diamond Loop(opening spring 2009) will be for expert riders only..(NO built in by-passes)
A beginner loop is also available.This 2-mile, wider, family friendly loop is for kids and anyone new to mtn biking. Much less intimidating for 1st-timers and runners. Come check us out! get more info and directions at mzbiketrail.wordpress.com

Recommended Route:
5-mile 'A' Loop for advanced riders
2-mile 'B' Loop for beginners

Summary:
For locals, I'd say it's a combination of Ruston, Clear Springs, and Biloxi. Maybe the best of all 3 combined. It won me over before I got mid-way through. There are plenty of technical sections, no shortage of jumps along with great climbs to fast down-hills. Top notch tight twisty single-track with wider areas to fill the boot. The trail flows extremely well. Very well maintained and some of the trail features are some of the best I’ve ridden in this area. This trail will certainly be on my list of preferred trails.

Favorite sections: Squirrelly Hill, The Fly, and of course the wall bridge…

Recommended Route:
Follow the signage, well marked for direction and mileage with section names.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Biloxi, Spillway, and Ratboy's Sweater trail

Summary:
The description says it all. When driving there, look for the yellow "Mt Zion Bike Trail" sign on the left side of Mt Zion road which marks the entrance to the trail - otherwise you'll drive right by it!
