Montgomery Bell State Park

Super fun and great flowing single track. Mtn Bikes only on the trails, which is nice (no hikers or dogs allowed). 23+ miles of trails with different levels of diffuculty (based on climbs and downhill sections more than obstacles). 12 hour drive from Austin, but worth the trip. Great road trip/camping/biking destination. Definitely worthy of a family outing.


Location:

Burns, TN


Directions:

From Memphis (I-40): Take I-40 East to Exit 182 (Fairview/Dickson Hwy. 96 Exit). Turn left(West) onto Highway 96. Stay on Highway 96 until it dead-ends at Highway 70. Turn right (East) on Highway 70, off-ramp provided. Stay on Highway 70 approximately 3 miles. Park entrance is on the right.
