The Kentuck OHV Trail System is a 23-mile network of four interconnected loops in Alabama's Talladega National Forest, open to both motorcycles and ATVs. The system is well-suited for a variety of skill levels, offering easy sections with gentle grades and smooth surfaces for beginners, alongside more difficult trails with steep grades, tight turns, rocks, and log obstacles. A notable feature is that all creek crossings have bridges, but riders must be aware that all trails are designated for two-way traffic.
This trail system operates on a seasonal schedule and is closed to all riders annually from January 1st through March 31st. A daily fee of $5 per operator is required and is paid on-site. Helmets are mandatory for all riders, and it is recommended to wear hunter orange during hunting season (October-January). While dispersed camping is permitted at the trailhead and along the trails, there are no restroom or drinking water facilities, so visitors must be completely self-sufficient.Dirt Bike Trail System
