Trail Description:
The National Forest Service recently opened a fifty mile stretch of the trail to mountain bikers. The entire trail reaches from Pinnacle Mountain State Park to Talihina, Oklahoma. Over 220 miles long. A tremendously pretty path through the heart of the state. Most of the ride is a gentle doubletrack trail. But there is enough single track to make it interesting. You can also reach the Womble and Little Blakely from this trail.
How to get there:
Though the trail is long and there are several starting points. It is easiest to start at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. To get there take Exit 9 off 1-430 to Hwy. 10, then west 7 miles to Hwy. 300, turn right and go 2 miles north to the park. Or you can take Pinnacle Valley Road north off Hwy. 10 just 3 miles west of 1-430.
