Macon area trails
Georgia Industrial Children's Home (AKA the Pig Trail)
4690 North Mumford Road, Macon, Ga, 31210 (
Map)
This 7 mile trail is fun for riders of all skill levels. It offers a mix of technical singletrack, a fast, twisty section through pine trees, and some doubletrack. Not much climbing, but one short, steep hill dubbed "Chandler's Challenge" may test you. This is a very popular trail, so be on the lookout for other bikes, runners, hikers and dogs.
L.H. Thomson
7800 NE Industrial Blvd, Macon, Ga, 31216 (
Map)
The 4.5-mile trail at the L.H. Thomson Factory has undergone some trail repair lately and offers a little bit of everything. This trail has good climbs and descents, including a few steep ones. You'll also find log jumps, lots of exposed roots, switchbacks, and a creek crossing. The land-owners would like you to sign a waiver before you hit the trail.
Arrowhead Park at Lake Tobesofkee
Columbus Rd to Arrowhead Dr, Macon, Ga 31220 (
Map)
Please note: Arrowhead Park is rideable, but due to recent construction (as we work to rebuild after the 2008 Mother's Day tornado damage), the trail may be very wet after rains. Please do not ride wet trail here!

3326 Ocmulgee East Blvd, Macon, Ga, 31201 (
Map)
This 5-mile trail is mostly singletrack with some fast downhills and good climbs, with a couple of switchbacks. Watch out for all the sand.
