SaveSituated in the southern portion of Eglin, just outside of Fort Walton Beach, Timberlake Recreation Area holds over 20 plus miles of single-track mountain bike trails. The varied terrain around Timberlake Pond lends itself well to a range of technical riding abilities.
Timberlake Mountain Bike Trails are maintained by the Timberlake Area Trail Riders (TATR). Trail maintenance and improvements are done with the approval of the Eglin AFB Natural Resources Office. Please direct comments/questions about maintenance and improvements to the TATR. They will work with the Eglin NRO to determine if the work can be done.
The Timberlake Trail System is divided by Lightwood Knot Creek with separate trailheads to access each side. Trailheads are located on Ranger Camp Road and Range Road 234, accessible from SR 189/Lewis Turner Blvd. Trails may also be accessed from the Timber Lake camping area. Bike service stands are located at the Ranger Camp Road and Timber Lake Camping area trail heads.
All trails at Timberlake Recreation Area are designated as multi-use trails, open to bicyclists and hikers/runners. Hikers and runners must give right-of-way to cyclists. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed.
Beginner trails (green blazes) are ridable by novice riders, usually without dismounting. Obstacles have a ride around or bypass.
Intermediate trails (blue blazes) are longer, contain more obstacles, and may require the rider to dismount. Climbs are steeper, longer, and more strenuous for riders.
Advanced/Expert trails (red blazes) are the most difficult with steep climbs and drops, larger obstacles, tighter turns, and longer, more strenuous segments. Obstacles may not have a ride around or bypass.
The Timberlake Trails are multi-directional. Only Speed Demon is marked with reflectors for night riding and is only marked one way for night rides. Be alert when riding on trails to prevent collisions, minimize erosion, and sustain technical features.
***ALL RIDERS must wear properly fitting bicycle helmets when riding on Eglin trails and roads.***
***Pets must be leashed for the safety of others, wildlife, and your pet.***
Eglin NRO Trail Rules:
Eglin Recreation permit is required to use trails for all activities (annual permits may be purchased online, daily permits must be purchased in person).

Bird watching, walking, and running is permitted on all trails.
Pedestrian traffic shall yield to cyclists.
Cyclists shall ride no more than two-abreast on trails and roads.
Do not litter or leave trash.
