UWF Bike Trails — Attraction in Ensley

I went out to these trails expecting great things. All I got was trails that were rutted, muddy in areas where proper drainage would be crucial there, and really sandy. The parking lot side was an absolute mess and I can see why when the people who designed the trails fail to make them sustainable. Every time it rains, the trails become rivers, and they create holes, wash out features and even though the builders try to shore them up with sandbags, they get washed away and form sand traps in places where it'll slow down any momentum you had going down a hill.

The birds and squirrels were fun to watch. I was amazed by the vast number of trails available for...
