Just rode the trail from Village Point Park Reserve to downtown Fairhope, about 8 miles one way. Not much change from what previous reviews describe regarding the condition of the trail and obstacles/traffic you'll encounter. It's a beautiful ride but you just have to be prepared to NOT have a smooth ride, and to ride at a casual pace (unless you're on a mountain bike). Fairhope is a great stop-over with some good restaurants, but beware of Monday closures. Also a nice area to go off trail and explore.
I run these trails almost every week! They are beautiful and never get old.
One of the most beautiful trails in the park. A few inclines, but not difficult! Well worth scheduling a ride or walk.
Beautiful bike trails. Paved and wide. Many benches and restrooms and water stations along the way too. Best I’ve ever been to.
Part of the Hugh Branyon Trail System that features several trails that are all interconnected. I rode them all from the trailhead at Catman to the furthest point that takes you down & around Lake Shelby which totaled almost 18 miles. Beautiful trails from start to finish with excellent asphalt & a variety of scenic views including a gator & her young on Rosemary Dunes. A great trail system that Is well managed.
The trail is great for dog walking and has a lot of wildlife
Flat and level, lined with small oak trees. Seems well maintained. At 2 miles one way, very nice as a walking trail. Was there April 2020, great way to spend a few hours.
Loved the Gulf Islands National Seashore Park section. Stopped along the route to walk the beach and Fort Pickens. Enjoyable afternoon
This is one of many trails in the park. All trails are well maintained and take you to different areas of the park. Download trail mail before you set off so you can follow your route. Highly recommend!
