The trail is mostly freshly paved and in great shape, relatively flat and beautiful scenery!
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.
From the Kingston Pavilion at Ditto Landing, cross the bridge and walk north along the river. Also suitable for gravel or mountain bikes. About 60% shaded. Beautiful walk.
The majority of this trail was extremely disappointing. I think TrailLink needs to go back and reevaluate a large section of this trail. A narrow sidewalk that runs along a busy street, for several miles, does not constitute a bike or walking path. Mallard Point was beautiful in mid April. That said, the large waterpark was not open. I would not come here during the summer because it’s probably total chaos. The large parking lots have the clear signs no RVs and no campers allowed.
Nice Trail,Found Parking near Church,Smooth Enough for Skates, Could Use Some Maintenance.
The trail was nearly immaculate -- hats off to the citizens of Athens. Beautiful path that followed Swan Creek almost the entire way. People, dogs, bikes, strollers... all kind and thoughtful.
I started at the south trailhead and did an out and back for a total of 22 miles. The southern half of the trail is definitely in better condition, but my gravel bike did fine on everything. Rapeseed was blooming,as were the red buckeyes. saw several other cyclist and two groups on horseback. Wonderful to see people out on such a beautiful day.
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.
The trail itself was nice, but a couple of the parking lots were overgrown. We did not feel safe in the area.
