Auburn-Opelika, AL
Auburn-Opelika is the coolest col-
lege town in the South, according to
us, and one of the top cities in Amer-
ica to live, according to CNN. Easy to
get to and easy to love, it’s a perfect
choice for a weekend getaway in the
great outdoors. Load up the family
bikes and check out Chewacla State
Park. With over 30 miles of versatile
track, Chewacla offers world-class
trail systems designed for both
mountain biking beginners and sea-
soned pros. Located in the last
foothills of the one-billion-year-old
chain of Appalachian mountains, the
network’s lower system is where
you'll find some of the park's earliest
trails, with a decidedly rough and
rugged feel geared towards the
cross country crowd.
The upper system features
a variety of flow and gravity
offerings, utilizing every inch
of the park's 200 vertical
feet of relief .
It features a jump line with over 25
jumps and features, including a 20'X8'
stepdown, numerous 20'+ doubles and
tables, one of the best hips you'll find
anywhere on the east coast, and a 35'
road gap. That doesn't include the
scores of other features found through-
out the upper system, which utilizes
quite a bit of lumber, as well as the final,
rocky whispers of Appalachia before
the region's transition towards a sandy
coastal plain takes over. And don’t miss
the Great Wall of Chewacla and the
Loch Ness Cobra nestled among the
miles of well-groomed flow trails.
We offer a suitable option for every
age and skill level – you can even test
out one of our pedal-less “strider”
bikes for the little ones! Rentals are
available for mountain biking as well as
street riding.
