Coldwater
mountain is one of the premiere Mountain Biking trail systems in
Alabama and possibly in the Southeast. There are over 35 miles of
singletrack trails here. This is all made possible by Forever Wild
Alabama, the North East Alabama Bicycle Association, the city of
Anniston, Alabama and too many dedicated people who made this trail
possible.
The trails can be accessed from two trailheads.
One is 401-455 Monsanto St. Anniston, AL and is nearest Anniston. The other is
1661 Coldwater Road and is the
original trailhead. The trails here vary in suitability from those who have little
experience to those who's skill level on a mountain bike is highly
developed. Trails such as the Three Bears at the Coldwater trail
head only require stamina and minimum skill. Trails such as Gazza
and Bomb Dog require more skill.
Care should be taken when biking here. Most of the
trails are rocky and some are quite remote. Realize and know your
skill level and don't attempt to ride trails that are way above it.
Skill comes by riding more and working on your skills.

visit the Northeast
Alabama Bicycle Association web site. You can also find a good description
of each trail, if you need that to plan your trip to Coldwater.

Trail Maps
This is the original map from neaba.net and does not print well on
most printers.
The maps below are modified from the original map to make them
larger more useable.
They print on multiple sheets which can be aligned to get a better
idea of the trail system.
These
maps do not show PIP Trail or Jordies Trail. Both are black diamond
trails. |
