A Perfect Day On A Mountain Bike
With little exception the mountain bike trails of Tallahassee were first built by scofflaws and visionaries with a dream of creating a linked trail system allowing riders to navigate safely and in style whether they were riding for sport or necessity. Beginning with Tallahassee’s original mountain bike club, the Fat of the Land, single track has been growing throughout the area since the 1980’s.
Over time, most of those trails were adopted and sanctioned by the various land managers, of which there are many. Now, with guidance from TMBA, that early vision is closer to reality. Tallahassee features three distinct regions for mountain biking. Each offers professionally built trails, maintained by TMBA volunteers.
The unique terrain, wildlife, distances, and degrees of difficulty mean each rider can put together a perfect day on a mountain bike. Detailed maps and reviews of our trails can be found online at Trailforks, but here is a brief description of what to expect.
Alford Greenway
Follow the single track to the right once you cross the bridge and it will lead you on a 7 mile loop around the perimeter of the greenway or explore the many double-track trails.
​
Magnolia Trail
Magnolia is a really fun and flowy trail with some pretty cool trail features. There is a huge wallride. You can get high on that wall if you’re not careful. Magnolia has a lower and upper section both are fun and have their share of technical features.
Munson Hills
With a little creative route-finding through some neighborhoods and some stout hill-climbing on road you can link the previous trail system to this sprawling area with a 6 mile long packed shell or dirt multi-use trail.
Cadillac
So the vintage cars you see on the trail are actually Fords, but that doesn’t diminish the sweet flow and sharp, technical corners of this intermediate to expert-level trail. A quintessential Tallahassee trail experience.
Lake Overstreet
Idyllic riding along the banks of the lake around the park perimeter or venture into the network of single track including the Silk trail, Secret Single Track, East, West, and North loops.
​
Twilight
With a little creative route-finding through some neighborhoods and some stout hill-climbing on road you can link the previous trail system to this sprawling area with a 6 mile long packed shell or dirt multi-use trail.
Lafayette Heritage
This multi-use trail intersects the Cadillac trail so any line chosen will eventually bring you to the same destination along the dike that splits Lake Lafayette and leads you to our next area.

Red Bug
With a little creative route-finding through some neighborhoods and some stout hill-climbing on road you can link the previous trail system to this sprawling area with a 6 mile long packed shell or dirt multi-use trail.
Miccosukee Greenway
With a little creative route-finding through some neighborhoods and some stout hill-climbing on road you can link the previous trail system to this sprawling area with a 6 mile long packed shell or dirt multi-use trail.
East Loop Trail
Nestled just off of Miller Landing Road around the corner from Forest Meadows Park and Lake Overstreet on the northeast shore of Lake Jackson is East Loop Trail. It is a beautiful 670 acre tract of conservation land held in partnership with the Northwest Florida Water Management District, City of Tallahassee and Colin Phipps.
​
Fern & Pine Beetle Trails
Approaching the Fern Trail is the Kohl’s Trail near the Governor’s Square Mall, where you’ll wind through beautiful urban woods and climb several small hills as you follow the path (which is marked with blue blazes on the trees). Fern connects to Pine Beetle Trail giving riders connectivity through an urban setting while staying under shaded canopy.
Timberlane Trail
Timberlane Ravine Nature Preserve Trail is a 2.1 mile loop used mainly for hiking and mountainbiking. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 32 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking and mountain biking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.​​​​
