Forest Hill/Camp Claiborne

Surrounded by the Kisatchie National Forest, the 26-mile trail system on this former Army base was built for endurance competitions and is still used as a course for mountain bikes. Sandy terrain helps the trails hold up in wet weather, but some areas are rough and rutted nonetheless.

If you go, keep in mind that these trails also are available for hiking and equestrian use. The trail is two-way and provides a primitive trail experience. Blind turns, hikers, other riders or horses should be anticipated. Roots, logs and stream crossings will be slippery. Riding fast is hazardous and not recommended.

After your ride, continue to explore the vast Kisatchie National Forest, or take a walk on the wild side at the Alexandria Zoological Park. History lovers may enjoy Forts Randolph & Buhlow State Historic Site, which include earthen forts and a complex dam constructed in the 1800s.
