Description: A multiple loop network of singletrack with challenging climbs and descents. A 2 mile beginner loop offers a good warmup with a few bridges and a \"teepee\" bridge. Over 20 wooden bridges and stunts on the 5+ mile intermediate loop. There is a new Black Diamond section that will be open soon that features an 80\' narrow curvy bridge, a 60\' bridge that is 12 feet off the ground and only 22\" wide, and a 20 foot ramp that launces you over a 10 foot wide creek jump...

My buddy and I rode this trail today for the first time and we both were very impressed! We drove about two and half hours from Gulfport and we got our worth out of the trail. We managed to negotiate every obstacle including the wooden skinny that was quite high off the ground. The local crew did an outstanding job bringing a little bit of BC flare to Mississippi!!! I will be back real soon just as soon as it dries up a little. Thanks to everyone for delivering and giving everyone the best little trail in Mississippi.

This is a great trail. Very well maintained and cared for. Many chances for jumps, but sometimes they sneak up on you because there is a creek on the other end. One section is very technical and narrow, and other sections are wide and very fast (20 mph). White trail is pretty challenging and the yellow kind of easy. New black diamond section will be sweet when complete. The bridge and drop are a blast, and the creek jump is a challenge on a hardtail. Great uphills with rewarding downhills. Will return ( 2 hour 20 min drive)

I rode this trail today with a few locals that I met at the trail head. The trails are very well designed and maintained with exciting wooden structures that aren't overly common in the area. They have multiple bridges, ramps, jumps, and a "teeter-totter". Good mix of downhill and climbing sections. Mt. Zion trails are good place to ride. A lot of bridges and stunts have optional bypasses but the new black diamond section that will be open soon meets the criteria for the rating.
