Confirmed from Forever Wild Trails' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular spot for mountain biking and hiking, with a change building, plus flora and fauna.
What runners say about Forever Wild Trails
“Please don’t let anyone cut the pines on the dragon trail - that part was absolutely serene!”
I love going for a walk there 💖💖💖 It’s really close to my house, and I enjoy it every time. It’s perfect for nature lovers 💗💗💗
Great place to hiking 🥾 it’s was my first time doing this trails. I just took a map 🗺 and went to walk💃💃 I did it alone, I felt scared for the trails but its safe. I met a lot of walkers inside of the trails. If you have a dog, take care your dog, there are a lot of wild animals🐊🕷🐿🦔🐾🦝🐢🐍🦅
I absolutely love this hidden gem in Dothan! To get off the circle and explore the trails of forever wild!! They have so many trails to explore,never crowded, you will see lots of box turtles 🐢 along the way! Peaceful , birds chirp! It really is lovely!
Kinda surprised - Dothan has some of the best mtb trails in the deep south! Please don’t let anyone cut the pines on the dragon trail - that part was absolutely serene! Great example of the great things that can happen when a city embraces historical trails instead of closure! 🤘🏼😎
