great trails...lots of fun. I did of course have a
close call with a black bear - - he was very polite
and does not have access to the internet so I
won't talk bad about him. Keep your head up.

Good workout, but neither the Stinky Creek trail nor the Carbo are well marked. Very easy to get caught into a loop, switching from trail to trail. It sure is a nice switch from the asphalt.

Timberlake was beautiful and worth the trip. At first, tough to find entrance. Small sign of Lewis Turner Blvd marked Timberlake Trail Entrance. Carbo trail was the best. Twisting and turning and continual descend and ascending turns. I rated excellent for scenery and length. Not for technical riders.

The cost is $12 now for a recreation pass from Jackson Guard Sation in Niceville. I have never ridden these trails but have run on them. A great place to get awaay from the streets. Would like to organize an ultra marathon out there. get a four mile loop and run it 8 times.

l have to say I've become a better
rider riding on Timberlake trails. The
first reason is the Single track is
tighter. I've learned to handle my bike
better because of the trees. The
second is the sand believe it as must
as everybody hates it. I've develp the
skill to ride difficult train. When I go to
trails in other places thats not sandy I'
m able to fly through it with
conference. To stick on my lines
without losing momentum. We have
on one four miles section called carbo
with mustly small power climbs , they
will get you fit. So before you ripe on
our trails as if we have anything esle to
ride. Try to enjoy what we have you
might be suprized. Beware of snakes ,
bears or anything esle that moves .
Have fun thats what its all about
anyway .

The only and best trails within 40 miles. We're fortunate to be able to ride here, and appreciate Eglin making it legitimate. Wear a helmet, have your permit, don't litter and have fun.

Been riding this trail system for 2 years now and have been very satisfied. (With the exeption of the bannana spiders that seem to always build their webs accross the trail.) Overall a descent set of trails that offers a good bit of variety. Considering the total lack of elevation in florida, these trails are very respectable.
