Mountain Biking – Anniston- Cheaha Mountain Express

The Cheaha Mountain Express is approximately 10 miles of smooth to technical trail in Cheaha State Park. The trail is single-track, characterized by rocks and roots, but is generally very well maintained and marked. The entire trail is a system of about four trails that can be ridden in combination to deliver more than 10 miles of riding. The trail is on the highest mountain in Alabama. Views from the park are spectacular, and the mountain terrain allows for rapid drainage of rainwater from the trail. There are ample facilities, parking and lodging or camping options within the park and resort.

Skill Level:

Fit intermediate and advanced riders Rocks and roots make for a technical trail in many sections. Some sections have sharp hairpins that require skill and care to negotiate, but can be done successfully with prudent speed control and good brakes. If conditions are damp, traction will be slippery over the rocky section.

Route Info:

Trail maps are available at the Country Store just outside the Resort entrance. The trails are generally well marked with colored blazes.
