Kentuck ORV trail system in Alabama's Talladega National Forest is a great place for riding ATVs and Motorcycles in the State of
Alabama. Due to its location, this riding area
is the closest public riding area for most of the people that live west and south of Atlanta. This area has approximately 25 miles
of trails that are suitable for ATVs and Dirt Bikes. The trails are made up mostly of several loops. The trails have gentle inclines and
declines are great for beginners but also fun for experienced riders that want to go fast. Georgia could learn a lot from
Alabama's effort to be environmentally friendly. All of the creek crossings have bridges and there are no really steep areas that
erode very quickly. The only improvement that could be made to the trails would be to make them one way, since they are already
loops. Camping is allowed at the trailhead and there are areas for loading and unloading your ATVs. This area is closed from
January 1st through March 31 call the ranger for trail conditions before you ride 256-362-2909.
