Best Biking Trails on Alabama's Beaches
Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail
Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail
At the heart of the island, Gulf State Park has more than 6,000 protected acres and a host of amenities, serving as the perfect hub for biking activities. The Hugh Branyon Backcountry Trail, designated as a National Recreational Trail, includes more than 28 miles of pathways through the park and beyond, from Orange Beach to Gulf Shores.
From the lowland marshy alligator habitat to the piney woods where majestic Bald Eagles nest, you can explore diverse island areas off the beaten path when you travel by bike. There are the wetlands of Rosemary Dunes and Cotton Bayou, the boardwalks of Lake Crossing and Beach Mouse Bypass and the oak canopies of Gulf Oak Ridge.
Many choose to stop and enjoy a leisurely break at Lake Shelby’s picnic area, the Butterfly Garden on Catman Trail or one of several newly constructed observation areas. Trails also provide access to the park’s interpretive and nature centers, beach pavilion, fishing pier and new lodge and conference center.
Roadside Trails
Roadside Trails
Beyond Gulf State Park, roadside trails offer more opportunities for exploring the island. In Gulf Shores, you’ll find a multi-use path westward along Fort Morgan Road (Highway 180) for more than five miles. Sidewalks and bike lanes line both neighborhood streets and Gulf Shores Parkway (Highway 59). Beach Boulevard (which extends from Gulf Shores and through the park and into Orange Beach) is lined with bike lanes, taking riders among the white sand views of the beachfront as well as offering convenient access to accommodations, restaurants, and retail stores.
