TTFs on TrailBerm, Jump
Bomb Dog is a very fast descent that is almost 4 miles in length. The trail begins at the end of Cassidy. Before you get into the descent stop and have a visit with Floyd, Anniston/Calhoun County's first bomb sniffing police canine. His headstone is just on the left of the trail. From here get ready for one of the newest and best flow-style descents available anywhere. It's about two miles long and features plenty of rollers, camel and table-top jumps. This section of trail is very progressive and is super fun for riders of all abilities. Getting air is up to you After the big descent you'll keep the smile as you contour, climb and have another short descent. The final climb brings you back to Baby Bear and the trailhead.

Upper portion of Bombdog was reworked mid May '25.
Faster, smoother and lots more jumps- what a blast!

Bomb Dog is a total blast, lots and lots of rocks and most of the trail is very high speed, but if you feel comfortable taking it on based on that description you will have a lot of fun! Probably a darker blue (for the southeast at least), but very enjoyable if you consider yourself a solidly intermediate rider.

The signs are a little confusing. When you are at the top, you will see a sign to the right (from the green box) that says "Rock Slot", so take this (the other way is Gaza and you do not take Gaza to get to Bomb Dog). The trail will become or already is Bomb Dog.
The part that is a rock slot is at the top of this trail so might be where it gets its name.
Very technical trail in places; you either can or cannot ride this feature, and most cannot, but you can walk when needed, and will be frustrated.
