Enjoy a biking, hiking, or horseback riding adventure on your next visit to Alabama State Parks.
Come explore the trails of Alabama State Parks and enjoy the natural beauty of Alabama. There are hiking, biking, and equestrian trails that provide every skill level with opportunities to see the diverse geology and plant and animal communities throughout the state.
Because of the importance of the trails to the parks system, we have created a new voluntary trails program that will focus on improving and managing the entire Alabama State Parks trails system. The new Dirt Pass Trails Crew Program is a new way that people can voluntarily contribute financially to improving and managing the Alabama State Parks trails system.
