“Forever Wild Trails at Beaver Creek” is part of Alabama’s Forever Wild Land
Trust with 400 natural acres located inside the city limits between Flowers
Chapel Road and Fortner St. This unique recreational resource provides a rich
experience for trail lovers, mountain bikers and hikers alike. All users
appreciate the 10 plus miles of naturally wooded trails with opportunities to
hike or ride 1-2 mile loops or tackle the whole trail system. Everyone enjoys
the mile-long section of bridges through the beautiful wetlands and the scenic
views of Beaver Creek. Concerning challenge – there are opportunities for all
levels from beginners to advanced riding and hiking. Mountain bikers enjoy the
constantly changing terrain promoting a steady rolling single track experience.
Advanced riders can experience plenty of “airtime” along the way and deploy
their skills on the Wall Ride Loop and the Big Levee feature. Hikers love to
“tune up” on the Forever Wild Trails in training for time on the Appalachian
Trail. Forever Wild Trails also boasts convenient access with three well
equipped (personal maps provided) trail heads to choose from in order to be
closest to your favorite trail sections. Come experience the natural high of
time spent close to nature and find out first hand why SORBA (Southern Off Road
Bicycle Association) selected Forever Wild Trails at Beaver Creek for their
Summit in 2017. Trails open daily from 6:30am to dusk.
