The Bethel Motorcycle and Bike Trails include a good handful of maintained singletrack and double-track trails in De Soto National Forest. The most popular trails for mountain biking are Badlands Trail and South Bethel Trail. These are pretty flat trails with lots of twists and turns through pretty thick pine forests.

Hiking

The Bethel OHV and Mountain Bike Trails are a popular spot for a variety of trail users even though bikes and OHVs are the most popular. There are plenty of trail maps and trail markers letting you know what trails are designated for which activities, and the trails are well-kept. Be aware that heavy rains can leave the trail unhikable for a few days.

Mountain biking

I actually biked the trails here and can agree with everything the original poser wrote. I noticed they didn’t record a ride here. 🤷🏿‍♂️. The parking lot is quite large and offers a fire pit, picnic table under a tree, primitive toilet and a repair stand that sadly has all the tools removed. Who does that? Nice to see anyhow. No garbage can so take your trash. It is possible for the trails to be closed during hunting season so do some research before you make the drive. 🦌
