Riding the Best Bike Trail in Every State: Alabama

The Chief Ladiga Trail represents Alabama in my search for America's best paved bike trail. As Alabama's entry in 50 Bike Trails in 50 States, it will compete for a place on the national leaderboard. In Episode 2, I'm riding and ranking the Chief Ladiga Trail to see how it stacks up against the best paved bike trails in America. The Chief Ladiga Trail is a 32.5-mile paved rail-trail stretching from Anniston to the Georgia state line through forests, wetlands, historic communities, and scenic Alabama countryside. As one of the most popular Alabama bike trails, it attracts cyclists, bikepackers, bicycle tourers, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the region. Along the way, I stop in Piedmont, explore the railroad history behind the trail, and finish at the Georgia border where the Chief Ladiga connects with the famous Silver Comet Trail. Together, they form the longest continuous paved trail system in the United States and one of the premier long-distance cycling routes in America.
