Mountain Biking Jimmie Cottons Trail

*****   Add a review
#71 of 289 mountain bike trails in Florida
#2,404 in the world

Consits of several types of terrain. From the challenging ridges that peak between two phosphate pits to the singletrack trails that wind through the forest. This trail has many challenges for the expert rider. This trail is riden by many people on Monday mornings. This trail is also by invitation only. Please contact the Ridge Riders Club for directions.

Cotton's trail is back! After the devestation of hurricane Charley it looked like a giant woodpile. Alot of hard work by Jimmy and his friends have reclaimed 6 or so miles of the most intense riding in FL! Narrow ridges (think the fingers at LHP or Carter Rd) in abundance, tough technical climbs, switchback climbs, off-camber, rocks, roots, steep drops, technical decents, you name it and it is there. Including a teeter-totter and a sliding bridge! This place is like combining the toughest sections of John Brown and Vortex (Santos), the old TOE, Carter Rd, and Moonscape and Gatorback (Alafia) into a 6 mile trail.
