Hooper Road Park - Baton Rouge

Directions: Take I-10 west until you reach the I-10 west / I-110 north split. Follow I-110 north to the Southern University / Metro Airport exit. Turn right from the exit onto Harding Blvd. Follow Harding across Plank Rd and it will turn into Hooper Rd. Go to the 2nd or 3rd traffic light. To the right it will be Mickens Rd and to the left it will be Cedar Glen. Turn left on Cedar Glen - it will dead end at Guynell. Turn right on Guynell- it dead ends at the entrance to the park. Once you are on the gravel driveway, the trail entrance will be on the left.
Description: It used to be a motorcycle trail until it deteriorated too badly, then they handed it down to the mountain bikers. Since it is the ONLY trail of significant length in Baton Rouge (8-10 mi), it is overused and in pretty bad shape. It's hard dirt when its dry; mud & slime when its wet. LOTS of big holes and roots - I hope you have suspension!
The Hooper rodetrails are actually maintained by BRAMBA (Baton Rouge Mountain Bike Association) members. They do a great job of maintenance and upgrading. The trails continue to grow and improve. While some are quite technical and challenging, they are rarely a mess. When they are dry, as they are this month, they're awesome.

Acadiana Park - Lafayette

Directions: From Interstate 10, exit Evangeline Throughway, south, Go to the first red light which is Willow. Take a left on Willow. Go to Louisiana Ave. Take a left. Go to first stop sign. Take a right here(Alexander). Go straight to Acadiana Park. Park behind the tennis courts. The trails are behind the courts.
Description:There are around six to ten trails to ride on. They are single track and fairly narrow. There are some obstacles. There are just a few hills. Total area may be one to two miles of tracks. It is a pretty good ride for beginners as there are only one or two tough spots. The trails are in pretty thick woods. Lots of roots to ride over. Also a few low points collect water after a rain, this can be a challenge...
The trail is free to the public. No restrictions on times to ride. It is usually not crowded...

Wild Azalea Trail - Lafayette

Directions: From Baton Rouge, take I-10 west and cross over the bridge to Lafayette. Exit on US Highway 190 west. Travel approximately 15-20 miles until you reach La 71. Follow 71 north until you think you are going to die (around 75-100 mi.). When you get to the Alexandria area, switch to La 28 west. You will be heading toward Leesville (and should see some signs).

Information: Once on 28, you will see a sign for the Kisatchie National Forest, then for Kincaid and Valentine Recreation areas. Both of these have trails.

Lincoln Parish Park - Ruston

Directions: From I20 in Ruston go due North toward Farmerville on Highway 33 for a distance of 6 miles. Turn left (West) at the large sign that says Lincoln Parish Park. Bada Bing, Bada Boom, you're there. If you can get to Ruston, then getting to the park is a breeze... and well worth the trip.

I think this area still exists, but am not sure. It's on private property and there is an access fee.

Tunica Hills Wildlife Management Area - Tunica

Directions: From Baton Rouge, take US 61 north past St. Francisville. At Bains, make a left onto Louisiana 66 and go approximately 14 miles. When you see the "Tunica" sign begin to look on your left for Old Tunica Road. Take that road for a mile or so and you will see the sign for Tunica Hills WMA and a small parking area on your right. First trailhead is off this parking area. Second trail is farther up Old Tunica Road. There is a map of the WMA on the sign at the entrance to the parking area.
Description: The Tunica Hills are geologic formations left behind by the southern edge of the ice cap from the last ice age. The WMA contains two ATV trails which are closed to ATVs most of the year and quite suitable for mountain bikes. There are also numerous hiking trails which are off-limits to cyclists. Inclines and declines are generally steep but short. Soil has high clay content and would be very slick after a rain. Lots of wildlife to see.
