Mountain Biking Bethel Bike Trails

****   Add a review
#6 of 37 mountain bike trails in Mississippi
#1,488 in the world

Bethel Bike Trails are a network of trails (Pine Lizard, South Pine Lizard, Badlands, Couch Trail,
Turtle Back Trail, Briar Patch, and South Bethel) which used to be Motorcycle trails. The trails
are in the Desoto National Forest. They are primarily single track with the occasional fire and
jeep trail. The trails are flat with only slight changes in elevation. The trails range from tight
turns in the trees to scenic rides along the creeks. Be prepared for a variety of soils ranging
from sand to hard packed dirt. I haven't ridden the trails enough to say what is the best route.
The Gulf Coast Bycicle Club has done a great job of fixing (especially since Hurricane Katrina)
and maintaining the trails. If you go to their website, you can get a description of each trail
individually and upcoming events. Being in the south, bring lots of water when you ride because
it will get very hot. It is an enjoyable ride, but also the only ride on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Rider questions

Q: Since the last hurricane, does this trail still exist and is it still ridable???
A: yes, perfect conditions

Q: Can someone please give me the directions to any point of this map so I can ride the trail?
A: Jeff, have you tried using the "Driving Directions" form on the trail page? It's under the "Directions" heading just below the trail features. From the map it looks like one trailhead is off hwy 15 on an unmarked road. Here's what you get from the directions form using Biloxi as the starting point: https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=30.60151, -88.94523&hl=en&saddr=biloxi, ms
