앨라배마 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Blink and you’ll miss it if you’re riding past. The remnants of things past. Well built, I’m sure it will stand for years to come.

Worth it. Beautiful view over a part of the forest.

Entrance to the various trails

If you walk the shores on Lake Martin, you might notice some massive bald cypress trees. They’re hard to miss—thick trunks, strange roots poking up like knuckles from the ground. Some say they’ve stood here for centuries, maybe longer. Though known for swampy terrain, these trees have learned to thrive even without constant water.

In central Alabama, Lake Martin stretches across three counties and draws people in with its winding shoreline and clear water. Built in the 1920s after Martin Dam was completed, it quickly became a local favorite for boating, fishing, and lazy summer days. The lake is dotted with quirky islands—like Goat Island and Chimney Rock—and surrounded by small towns and wooded hills.

A short challenging climb if your riding counter clockwise followed by some really nice trail afterwards. Some of the most enjoyable trail I rode there.
