Biking - Chattahoochee Bend State Park

Chattahoochee Bend Logo

There are 3 miles of mountain bike trails on the park. Per GA State law, any child under 16 must wear a helmet while riding. Bikes must stay on the bike trails and are not permitted on the nature trails.

Black Racer Trail: ¾ mile

The Black Racer Trail begins directly across from the Trailhead 2 parking area. This relatively flat trail follows an old roadbed and ends downhill at the intersection with the main park road, Bob White Way. This trail is easy on the outbound but tougher on the return. This trail also intersects the Hognose, Coachwhip, and Rough Green trails.

Hognose Trail: ½ mile

The Hognose Trail begins directly across from the Trailhead 2 parking area. This slightly technical trail includes uphill and downhill turns. This trail leads into the Coach Whip Trail after crossing the Wild Turkey Hiking Trail and ending at the intersection with the Black Racer Trail.

Coachwhip Trail: ½ mile

The Coach Whip Trail begins and ends at intersections with the Black Racer Trail. Both up and down hill runs make this a challenging section of trail. At either end one can turn right to return to the trailhead or left to continue riding the Black Racer.

Rough Green Trail: ¼ mile

The Rough Green Trail branches off to the left of the Black Racer Trail just after crossing the powerline right-of-way as one rides outbound from the trailhead. This short run brings riders back to the Black Racer Trail just before it ends at the main park road. Easier outbound than on the return.

Ringneck Trail: 2 ¼ mile

The Ringneck Trial begins at the information kiosk on the right as you enter Campground 1. This loop will intersect the Wild Turkey hiking trail at several points as well as crosses the main park road at two points. This loop is considered a beginners’ trail, but still offers excitement with numerous “whoop-dee-doos” and tight turns.

ParkPass required for all vehicles.
