Finding ATV Trails in Alabama

Alabama has a lot of wild country to ride in and until the past few years it wasn't really organized. There has be a great push forward for ATV riders to get the positive image out for ATV riders and conserve and improve the land sources used to ATV riding.

In a joint effort with the U.S. Forest Service, a local Alabama ATV group led a coordinated effort to develop an off highway riding area in the Talladega National Forest. This is considered to be one of the best trail areas in the State.

Another great trail that is currently under construction is Minooka OHV Park. This park should be opened in the Fall of 2005, and will feature all the trails, dips and hills ATV riders in Alabama have come to know and love.

Legislation is just beginning in Alabama regarding ATV use, some closed minded folks are working to ban ALL ATV use, whether it is recreational or utility. Several ATV groups have been working together to show the positive things responsible ATV riders can accomplish like clean ups of common areas, continuing education classes, and improvement and management of ATV trails on State and Federal lands and through this effort they have made a huge difference in the general attitude of the public regarding ATVs. Highlighting ATV riding as a positive recreational activity is just one thing these great groups are doing to maintain the current riding trails and open new trails for your exploration in the future.
