The Owl Creek Horse Camp is the only area allowed to camp with your horses. It is $3.00 a day. The facilities at the camp are limited and include a chemical toilet, hitching rails and a pond to water your horses. You need to bring drinking water.
Camping spaces are not designated.

Follow this road for about 8 miles, stay left at the FS 249 and FS 265 intersection, there will be a tree in this intersection. Turn left on FS 262 the horse camp is about 2 miles on the left.

Route 2 - Hwy 36 West of intersection with Hwy 157 past Tack Store in Speake, Turn left at stop sign on county road 84, go about 4 miles turn right on FS 265 go about 6 miles turn right on FS 246 then turn left on FS 262.

Pine Torch Trail Head directions: Hwy 33 South from Moulton, top hill go about 2 to 3 miles you will see a brown sign Pine Torch Church. Turn left FS246 trail head is about 1 mile on left. No camping allowed, day use only.
You can get to Owl Creek Horse Camp by continuing past this trail head for 3 to 4 miles turn left on FS 245, go by the Brush Lake Rec. Area and left on FS 262 the horse camp is about 3 miles on the right.

Sipsey Wilderness Area has about 13000 acres to ride. These are old dirt roads that have not been maintained since sometime in the 50s. Most are still in good shape and usually covered with leaves. There is about 6 places to access this area, but no designated parking areas. You have to park on the side of the Forest Service road close to some metal gates. There is usually plenty of room for vehicles to pass after you park. No motorized vehicles are allowed in the Sipsey Wilderness Area.

Directions to one parking area Hwy 33 South from Moulton, after you get to the top of the hill go about 5 to 6 miles. Turn right on FS 208 go about 7 to 8 miles until you see a gate blocking an old forest road.
Another parking area is on FS 223, another one on FS 208, another one on Lawrence Co. Rd 6 next to the Sipsey River at the head of Trail 200, anther one is on Canal Rd at the head of Trail 201.

Flint Creek Multi Use Trail is open to horses, hikers, ORV and bicycles. It is closed to Wagons and 4 wheel drive vehicles. One the weekends there are a lot of 4 wheelers and motor cross vehicles, so I wouldn't recommend riding a horse then. During the week day it is probably OK. There is about 16 miles of trails.
Loop A has white signs and is about 11 miles.
Loop B has red signs and is about 5 miles.

Directions: Hwy 41 South from Danville, top of the hill turn right at Cave Spring Cemetery on FS 249, go 5 to 6 miles and pass the intersection with FS 268.

They also had arranged for a DJ to play music and Randy Curvin's daughter sang for us as well. We rode hard, cleaned up, had a great meal, drank and danced and were ready to ride again the next day. Does life get any better. The pool is open now and how nice it will be to ride then take a dip in that big pool. Happy Trails....................

It offers about 12 miles of old logging roads and a few trails that are not marked very well. Some of the ride is along the edge of South Saunty creek as it goes into Lake Guntersville.
The camping area is located on the canyon floor and offers 48 sites with both water and electricity. Primitive camping is available just across the road from the improved camping area. There are no horse stalls and the horses are not allowed in the improved camping area and are to be kept in the primitive camping area.

Directions: East of the Tennessee River, just South of Langston and two miles North of Oak Grove. From Guntersville, follow Hwy 227 through Guntersville State Park.
Just past the state park you'll need to turn right, though the highway number stays the same. Turn left onto Route 19 and follow it to Route 152. Once you leave Hwy 227 the roads are not well marked, but you'll see signs guiding you to Bucks Pocket before you leave Guntersville State Park.

The trails are nice, just a few years old and there were TONS of horses there. The trails loop along the lake. Good advice would be to carry a collapsible bucket or a milk jug with the bottom cut off (lid on) to be able to offer your horse water because the water's always there but the horses would bog if they were willing to step down into it. It adjoined some private land that may have been a hunting club but the official trails went on it with an agreement no riding between Nov & Jan during hunting season.

To get to the trails I just drove through Guntersville on 79 and there's an official sign pointing to Buck's Pocket and Guntersville State Park. I think that road was 277. It was 7-10 miles (just guessing) At one point a sign pointed to the left for Guntersville Park facilities but we stayed straight. There was a sign there pointing ahead that said Buck's Pocket. Just a tiny bit past that was the well marked "Horse Trails" sign on the right. It's directly across from a nice area with pavillions & bathhouse to swim in the lake. You can't take the horses down there, but if you could find them some shade (there's not much) at the parking lot you could finish your ride with a dip.

The local woman in our group who knew the area best was Debbie Houston.

Trails are very scenic and a few places that you can stop by the lake to water your horses. Hilly from the very beginning and some places are rocky. SHOES are RECOMENDED. VERY SHADEY, some trails are not marked.
The main trails are marked and you can ride 5-6 hrs on just the marked trails. Ride longer on the other unmarked loops. There is a loop that you can actually wade across the lake on horseback.
The trails are a mix of all terrains; Hills ( bring breastcollar) Water crossings, Rocky, there are down tree but they have been clean so that the horses just step over them, Sandy, SHADEY almost the whole time.
There is NO CAMPING at THIS TIME. They are working on getting someone to bush-hog and water put in. If you go and enjoy the trails you should call Tallmedge Bulter at Town Creek and voice that you would like camping.

Call Town Creek Boat rentals 256-582-8353 maps are also available upon request or you can pick them up when you get there. The Town Creek Office/Store is open 8-3:30 pm There is NO FEE at this time to ride these trails.

Rails to Trails is a GREAT place to do a day ride! There are NO facilities. In fact, you park right in downtown Elkmont. The trails have been recently upgraded and two bridges have been constructed to include an adorable COVERED BRIDGE! This is a VERY pleasant ride. LOTS of trees to shade you in the summer. There are LOTS of folks who ride here so it's busy on the weekends. Weekdays you have a LOT less problem parking.
You park basically in the middle of the trails. If you go south, the trail goes for 3 1/2 miles one way.
If you go north, the trail goes for over 4 miles one way up to the Tennessee border. This is a former Civil War Railroad Track that used to supply a Confederate Fort not far from the track. In fact, on the south trail there is a sign that you can read. It tells a lot about the history. It gets sobering when you read the last sentence that states "200 soldiers died where you are now standing" (or in my case sitting on my horse). This is a very flat, easy trail. It's a GREAT place to start out young horses, condition trained horses or ride during hunting season when you can't ride anywhere else.
Everyone is friendly and it's kept quite clean. There are a couple of restaurants nearby. One is within walking distance of the parking area and the other is a nice little Bar-B-Q restaurant a short drive to the west. This is a GREAT trail!
From I-65 you get off at the Elkmont, AL exit. This is just south of the TN/AL border or about 2 hours north of Birmingham, AL. Head west off the exit and go about 4 - 5 miles. When you turn right on a 90 degree turn (same road - just has a sharp turn), you know you're almost there. When you get down to a parking area on the left with new wooden fencing, you know you're there. If you get to the 90 degree turn to the left, you've gone too far. Welcome to Elkmont!
