Intermediate to advanced These trails have a reputation for being quite tight and curvy. Changeable surface conditions in combination with tight turns and many quick little hills make this trail a challenge to ride quickly.
Variations:
The trails are interconnected throughout the park. All trails eventually loop back to start.
Afterward:
Dining – Ample opportunities all along University Boulevard and McFarland Boulevard. Tuscaloosa is a college town with a wide variety of eclectic, traditional, adventurous and original places to eat.
Recommended: Seek out the original Dreamland BBQ at 5535 15th Avenue East. From the park: Go south on US 82 past I-20. At the first street past US 11/Skyland Blvd., take a left onto Jug Factory Road. 15th Avenue is off to the right way back in the neighborhood.
