Mountain Biking Arrowhead Park

****   Add a review
#58 of 403 mountain bike trails in Georgia
#1,545 in the world

This trail system was originally developed back in 2001 but was destroyed by the Mother's Day tornado of 2008. Through the hard work of the Ocmulgee Mountain Bike Association and Bibb County, the trail system has been redesigned and rebuilt. The new trail opened up 2 years ago (2011) and is better than ever! This is some of the most demanding singletrack in Middle Georgia with great climbs and fast downhills. The park also offers lake access and camping.

There are two loops that are well marked, a Beginner loop as well as an Advanced loop. The Beginner loop takes out a couple of the longer climbs but it's still a challenging ride. To reach both trail heads you'll take the first paved road to your left once you enter the part, at the bottom of the hill you'll see the trail kiosk with the Advanced trail starting to the left of the bathrooms. To reach the Beginner trailhead you'll need to ride up the road a few hundred feet and you'll see the trailhead on your left. An additional 2 or so miles of trail to be built finished later this year! Park fee is $5 per vehicle.

Getting there
West of Interstate 475. Take the Hwy 80 exit and head west for 3 miles. Take a right on Tidwell Road until it dead ends. Take a left on Columbus Road and take a right shortly thereafter into Arrowhead Park.

Go through the gate, and when the road splits, fork left. Take your next left and park in front of the bathrooms. There are no signs showing the trail routes, but a spraypainted red parking block in the lot shows where the trail starts.
