Alabama ATV trails come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you are just learning to ride or looking for a challenge, you can find the right trail system. Most offer options for both types of all-terrain vehicle riders. From scenic bypasses to muddy pits, the trails are sure to thrill.

Flint Creek Multi-use Trail

Flint Creek Multi-use Trail located in Moulton, Alabama, lets riders explore 16 miles of smooth and fast trails. Winding through the hills of Bankhead National Forest, these trails are suitable for all skill levels. Loop A is 11 miles and Loop B just five miles. Small jumps, dust and rocks litter B while A rolls along a scenic river. Flint Creek Multi-use Trail is open all year round. Riders must abide by state law and wear helmets.

Kentuck ORV Trail

Kentuck ORV Trail goes through Alabama's Talladega National Forest. With 25 miles of trails, the terrain is everything from gentle inclines and declines to winding tree areas. In order to be friendly to the environment, the river crossings all have bridges as not to erode away the shores. One warning: Despite the fact the trails are loops, they are not one way, so oncoming traffic can be a problem. Complete with areas to load your ATVs, with camping allowed at the trailheads, the area is closed from Jan. 1 through March 31.
