Old Stone Fort Archaeological Park has New Trail for Mountain Biking

Thank you to Thunder1320.com for posting the following story:

Keith Wimberly, Park Manager for Old Stone Fort Archaeological Park, was the guest on “Connecting Coffee County” on Tuesday and shared some exciting news about a new trail in the Park.

Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park would like to announce the creation of a new 1.7 mile dual-use mountain bike and hiking trail located on Powers Bridge Road. It is aptly named the Powerline Trail and was built by Eagle Scout Brody Goodwin and his fellow scouts.

This new trail at OSFSAP is the only trail that allows bikes of any kind.
