This loop trail has great flow, the climbs are always rewarded with fun descents, and lots of intentional obstacles are placed to test your skill and provide a great playground for mountain bikers. You will encounter wooden berms, walls, and tabletops, a 14-foot see-saw, innumerable wooded bridges, and fun jumps. Although this route has many obstacles and challenges, there are always warning signs and turn-offs to avoid them. Alternate loops for beginners and a 1-mile loop for kids are available here with a pavilion stocked with popsicles for the kids. This is a great spot for riders of all abilities.

Considered to be one of the best trails in Mobile Alabama and surrounding areas, this trail is located right on campus of University of Southern Alabama. Although the trail is on campus, you are traveling through heavily wooded areas making you unaware how close you are to the University. This combination of trails create a fast and flowy singletrack route with a few slight up hill sections. This trail can be traveled in either direction, White Trail (shown here) travels clockwise, while Yellow Trail travels counter clockwise. The trail is well marked and shows you what direction to take for easier or more advanced features, as well as marking which way to go for the quickest exit of the trail system if you need to exit before finishing the full loop. This loop is made up of multiple trails which can be accomplished by themselves if you desire a shorter ride.
