Forever Wild at Beaver Creek Trails

Call Directions Website

Over 15 miles of trail on 396 acres of property. We have three trail heads. Two on Fortner Street and one off of Flowers Chapel Road.

Designed for Mountain Bikers but great for hiking and trail running. The Dothan Forever Wild Trails is part of the ongoing Alabama Forever Wild Land Trust, creating mountain biking and hiking trails throughout the state. The Leisure Services Department was heavily involved in spearheading the efforts to make the vision of the Trails a reality. It began with 40 acres of city-owned land inside the city limits near the old Beaver Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The land would have been an ideal location for green space or a passive park, but when Wells Fargo Bank added 60 nearby acres to the 40 already owned by the city, the vision to do something even bigger began to form. Eventually, about 400 acres were secured and submitted to Alabama ’s Forever Wild program, which identifies land to be protected forever as a natural preserve. Features of the Dothan Forever Wild Trails

Boasting nearly 400 total acres, the Dothan Forever Wild Trails are located between Flowers Chapel Road and Fortner Street. When fully completed, which is anticipated to be by October 1, 2016, the Dothan Forever Wild Trails will feature a 10 mile trail system consisting of six separate trail loops linked together by connectors/bridges, including a small looped 1-mile family trail off of Flowers Chapel Road called Beaver Tail Flats. The Trails site features 3 parking lots, one off of Flowers Chapel Road and two off of Fortner Street. An additional feature of the Forever Wild Trails is the construction of a “pump track." The dirt track has bumps, turns and hills and is built in such a way that it can be navigated without the biker having to pedal if the biker maneuvers (or pumps) his or her bicycle correctly around the track. Many thanks to the Circle City BMX Club for their construction of the pump track for the public's enjoyment.

FOREVER WILD TRAILS ARE OFFICIALLY REOPEN!🌲🚵

After Hurricane Isaias left more than 60 trees down across 400 acres and 14+ miles of trails, our City crews, community partners, and volunteers got straight to work.

In just 10 days, more than 320 volunteer hours were dedicated to clearing debris and restoring the trails for our community.

This reopening wouldn't have been possible without the incredible teamwork of so many people. A special thank you to Kenny Long, the Southeast Alabama Mountain Biking Club, our Public Works and General Services departments, and every volunteer who gave their time to help with cleanup efforts.

"This reopening is a testament to the incredible teamwork and dedication of our City employees, community partners, and volunteers," said Keegan Ashbee, Assistant Director of Operations with Leisure Services. "We are extremely grateful to everyone who stepped up to help restore this important recreational space for our community."

We're proud to have these trails back open for everyone to enjoy, and even more proud of the people who made it happen.

Help us give a BIG thank you to everyone who worked to get Forever Wild reopened so quickly! 💚

Now, who's ready to hit the trails? 🥾🚴
