Great trail and is now about 10.4 miles long starting at intersection of Gulf Shores Parkway and Fort Morgan Road. Bonus bathrooms at west end. Well designed and set apart from the road. Lots of road crossings, but intersections are very visible for watching for traffic. We were on gravel bikes, but surface is definitely ok for road bikes. Bridges are well constructed and made from fabricated material. Other trail users were following good trail etiquette, but few riders with helmets. I just don’t understand getting on any type of bike without a helmet.
Accessible and well maintained. Over several days of meandering on our gravel bikes we have explored every trail. Very unfortunate the e bike riders (the majority of people using the trails) are frequently riding in packs and not following biking etiquette or trail rules. I’m curious, why are they generally not wearing helmets?
SEPTEMBER 2026 Taking advice from a previous reviewer we meandered through this miasma of trails, just bloody delightful. Thank you Alabama Parks Department for taking such good care of this smashing group of trails.
Rode the entire length of the original trail and then was treated to the partially open new trail extension, which adds another approximately 6 miles to this trail. The trail extension is more remote with fewer driveway crossings than the original portion. The trail extension is paved with asphalt, and the new bridges and boardwalk sections are made of non-slip composite material. The planners and builders did a great job in weaving this trail extension into the coastal environment. It is a joy to ride. As of May 1, 2026 there were only 2 points that were not complete. The first was a drive way crossing that needed to be concreted and the second is the new trail head at the end. I would venture a guess that the trail will be 100% by July 2026. I have included photos on the trail page.
The wife and I went down to ride gulf state park.We started at the landing and rode up to a newly constructed segment.We drove out to tacky jacks and noticed that new trail segments are under construction.
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
Beautiful expansive connected trails that will keep you riding for at least 28 miles. Perfect December weather. Coming back for sure to take more in.
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.
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.
