Description: This trail by Lake Jordan in Wetumpka is a new addition to mountain biking in ALabama. The trail is almost completely singletrack with some tight technical sections along with some steep climbs and decents. It is especially beautiful in the spring when the wild azaleas are blooming along the lake. Mile markers and direction arrows are present on the trail. Maps of trail are available at trailhead.

You can see a lot of work was put into building this trail. It's very well marked and one can choose multiple different mileages. Roots and sand are very common in this part of the country so don't be dissuaded by complaints of such. Very fast with good flow, but no real vertical component. It's the only set of trails around so I highly recommend you try them.

This trail is very technical with a massive amount of roots and sharp rocks. Watch out for some weird blind drops in some places that can cause you to go ass over elbows. Overall a very fun trail but with enough technical challenges to make it not as fun as I had hoped.

Researching this trail to possibly ride in the near future. I appreciate the "Trail of Legends" link which was provided in the last trail review. Came across this feature on the referenced website...I've seen this done once before and it is VERY cool! Check it out: http://www.attackonswayback.com/pages/virtual_tour/Sback/index.html

This is one of the best trails I've ridden in Alabama. Different than Oak Mountain, not quite as difficult overall, but challenging non-the-less. The last time I rode swayback was in Feb, '06. My sister-in-law lives in Wetumpka, and my sister lived in Millbrook. Anytime I visited either, I made a point of going to ride swayback. I can't say enough about this trail. Good climbs, scenic, technical, rocky in places, good downhills. I think the whole ride is up to 11 or 12 miles long now in a loop. This place and Blankets Creek in Woodstock, Ga are very similar, except Swaybacks hills are a little longer, and a little rockier than most of Blankets.
