So I am going to help someone else We rode from our condo rental in Daphne ( near Forest Marina. Took the sidewalk , cut through Publix parking lot and avoided 2 road crossings. Passed the old town and park of Daphne A park and lovely places for food There were some road crossings and sometime people would stop for us. The sidewalk and little bridge crossings were very rough. Think mountain biking. Made it the 8.5 miles into Fairhope for lunch. The second day we took our e-bikes to Daphne to ride to county rd 1. In hindsight the safest option for day 2 would have been to park around Kingfisher seafood - if that’s possible and ride a little farther down state rd 1. Very little traffic on that road and the bike trail so much better in this section. Would do that part again bu the sidewalk around Fairhope just too dangerous for my at 66
Trail was just a bit rough but definitely a good ride. Being right along the highway traffic noise was very loud.
It is a busy car corridor, but the path is separate from the roadway and pretty smooth. A multi-year upgrade of the road east of the green area of the map is leading to better trail crossings of the multiple business entrances and streets. I believe the final resurfacing is being done this spring. It is a short trail but a much needed chance to relax a bit from the not-so-biker-friendly areas at either end.
Many trails throughout the park, paved, with several bathrooms and many benches. Lots of beautiful points of interests to stop and enjoy, I saw gators and deer. I traveled specifically to ride here, and I'm so glad I did
A pleasant trail with lots of shade for hot and humid summer saunters.
Rode this trail from the beginning at Doyle Park and finished at buccaneer yacht club which is a small park as well. Along the waterfront we've experienced very little car traffic. Ends up being about 4 miles one way.
One of our favorite ways to spend Saturday and Sunday mornings is riding the Blackwater Heritage State Trail. It’s a beautiful, well-maintained trail that’s perfect for a relaxing ride. The entire trail is paved, and there are plenty of stopping areas with restrooms along the way, which makes it super convenient for a longer ride.
The park service does a fantastic job of keeping the trail clean, regularly clearing away leaves and branches to ensure a smooth ride. There are two access points to the trail: you can start from Caroline Street or Old Bagdad Highway.
For my wife and I, we prefer parking near the waterfront park and picking up the trail around the visitor center, though we’ve done both starting points and they’re both great options. No matter how you approach it, it’s always a peaceful and scenic ride. If you’re looking for a nice way to spend a morning, I highly recommend giving it a try! Plus, there are 3 different breweries when you finish that serves up a very nice cold brew.
The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail is really a net work of trails within the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores AL. I highly recommend doing it without a map. Just let your instincts take you from trail to trail. There are paved segments,boardwalk segments, wooded areas, marshy areas all teaming with wildlife. The surfaces are in good shape and you can easily rack up 25 miles of riding. I started at sun up at the park headquarters where there is a lot of parking. I spotted osprey and other marsh birds and some gators. All in all a great ride.
I had planned to cross over from Fort Morgan to Dauphin Island on the Ferry to ride but the Ferry was broken down. So Plan B was to ride the first trail I came to....the Fort Morgan Road Trail. I road it from Peninsula Golf Course to the entrance of Gulf State Park and back. The trail is in very good condition and I would categorize it as easy. I did enough "extra" to total 14 miles. It connects to the network of trails within the state park known as the Hugh Branyon Backcountry trails. When you combine the two you could easily do a 30+ mile ride on nice surfaces.
It does not get much better than this, plenty of parking and access points, bathrooms clean and well spaced along the way, nice visitor center and plenty of benches to take a break if need be. 12' wide nice smooth paved trail, slight elevations, nice scenery. In town plan on some stops at road crossings but people are very bike friendly. There is a great bike store too along the downtown trail head if you need something. I just moved about 15 miles from this trail and will be using it often!
