Mountain Biking Hooper Road

****   Add a review
#12 of 51 mountain bike trails in Louisiana
#2,008 in the world

It used to be a motorcycle trail until it deteriorated too badly, then they handed it down to the mountain bikers. Since it is the ONLY trail of significant length in Baton Rouge (8-10 mi), it is overused and in pretty bad shape. It's hard dirt when its dry; mud & slime when its wet. LOTS of big holes and roots - I hope you have suspension! The Hooper rodetrails are actually maintained by BRAMBA (Baton Rouge Mountain Bike Association) members. They do a great job of maintenance and upgrading. The trails continue to grow and improve. While some are quite technical and challenging, they are rarely a mess. When they are dry, as they are this month, they're awesome. Contact: mailto:[email protected]

Getting there
Take I-10 west until you reach the I-10 west / I-110 north split. Follow I-110 north to the Southern University / Metro Airport exit. Turn right from the exit onto Harding Blvd. Follow Harding across Plank Rd and it will turn into Hooper Rd. Go to the 2nd or 3rd traffic light. To the right it will be Mickens Rd and to the left it will be Cedar Glen. Turn left on Cedar Glen - it will dead end at Guynell. Turn right on Guynell- it dead ends at the entrance to the park. Once you are on the gravel driveway, the trail entrance will be on the left.
