Birmingham & Oak Mountain Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Oak Mountain State Park is Alabama's flagship — the Red Trail's long ridge singletrack, Blood Rock's technical drop, and the Jekyll and Hyde lines below, all inside the state's largest park just south of Birmingham. Sandstone and chert over clay: the ridges shed water well, the lower trails hold it, and summer humidity keeps things greasier for longer.
