Review: Excellent beginner level single-track. If I were rating beginner ST only I'd give it 4 1/2 stars, 5 if there were any beginner technical features or a small skills park. Just a nice easy ride through the woods. Trail is true single-track with lots of small roots. A 29er would be great here, lowered air pressure on my 26in tires, and eliminated most of the trail chatter. More experienced riders might get bored here, but the rule of "just ride faster" definitely applies.
Good place to stretch the legs if passing through as it is just off the highway.

Review: Good trail, new (to me, last rode in 2009) section on the west side that snakes through the pines. Loop seems to flow a little bit better if you go counter clockwise. GPS said the loop was around 5.43 miles.

Review: This was my first time riding this trail. It's not as rough as posted earlier. It's a nice little trail. I'll be riding it more while I'm here in town.

Review: The trail is open again. It is a good trail for beginners. Nothing technical. Trail has washed out exposing a lot of roots. The experienced rider may get bored here easily. The best way to make this a challenge is to ride it as hard and fast as you can. Without a good front shock, your hands will probably go numb from hanging on so tight over all the roots. Don't be the first rider out in the morning. You will have a face full of spider webs the whole way!

Review: Closed until April 2010

Review: Road this trail for the first time yesterday and had a blast. I am just starting out and got a great workout and really enjoyed the challenge of the trail...tight turns, challenging downhills, lots of roots which make the trail a challenge. I really recommend trying the Westgate Park trail first if you are just starting out. I road the Westgate Trail twice (7 miles) and then this trail and was spent. Bring water with you because there are no fountains.* Review edited 7/18/2007

Similar Trail: Westgate Recreation Park, Dothan, AL

Review: This is one of the only trails in the Dothan area-judging from the rolling terrain around Dothan, there should be more some available locations to build more trails. TSUD is an easy cross country trail with few technical features that winds between pine stands and oak scrubs. Pros: 1)Trail is close to Dothan and is easy to find, 2)trail drains and dries well, 3)there are a few easy ups and downs - switchbacks(see trail map) are configured uphill followed by a downhill. Cons: 1)Trail is somewhat rooty and it appears that water run-off is allowed to shed straight down the trail with few erosion controls in place, 2)there are no distinguishable trailmarkers or blazes which mark the trail-but it's easy to find your way, 3) it doesn't appear there is regular trail maintenance, 4) there were no trail maps in the posted "Maps" box. See photos: I stopped to take a pic of some little rollers, little did I know I had just passed a BIG rattler! He was completely still and watched me until I snapped the pic and then when I turned around, tore off into the woods. I had no idea he was there until I heard him moving...I looked at the picture I had taken and saw him in it on the bottom right- eerie! If I had stopped and put my foot down a second earlier than I did, it would've been a bad day for both of us!

Review: Fun ride, several fast sections, a great trail for an evening ride.

Review: Not a bad trail for Alabama. It's flat, however the many turns add to the difficulty. Watch out for spiders webs.

Review: Have ridden this trail a few times. Probably 3 1/2 miles are flat with moderate slopes on the other. However, this trail is a blast as it has numerous switchbacks through hardwoods. Most of the loop can be ridden on 2nd and 3rd chain rings. It actually is a great workout as you build your speed back up quickly. Sits on the edge of a beautiful college campus.

Similar Trail: Do not know of one in Alabama, but Swayback Bridge Trail in Wetumpka is a must ride. AWESOME!
