Oak Mountain State Park near Birmingham, Ala., will soon have approximately 16 miles of new mountain bike trails thanks to a collaborative effort between the park, the Birmingham Urban Mountain Pedalers (BUMP), Shelby County and the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). Various sections of the expansion have been completed. The remaining sections are in the planning and construction phase.According to BUMP president Mark Muro, Oak Mountain’s popularity and mountainous terrain make it a perfect location to promote healthy lifestyle choices such as mountain biking.
“Alabama has one of the highest obesity rates in the nation and this project encourages more physical activity by providing well-designed and sustainable trails in a natural setting such as Oak Mountain,” Muro said. “One objective of this project was to make the park a mountain bike destination for locals and out-of-town visitors alike. From backcountry adventures to gravity trails, or expert-only and family-friendly trails, you’ll encounter the best the sport has to offer at Oak Mountain.”
