Land OwnerAlabama State Parks
Slingshot is the newest trail at Oak Mountain State Park opened on May 6th, 2021. This trail was funded by BUMP thanks to generous donations, and successful fundraisers. It is a 3 mile trail that now allows trail users to bypass the gravel Camp Road between Seven Bridges and Garretts Gulch. it is a multidirectional trail. Your climbing is rewarded with fun and playful trail features, flowing downhill sections with split options, and an awesome 40 foot log ride area with a bench. Riding from Garretts Gulch is a little more fast and flowing. Coming from Seven Bridges going up to Garretts has more sustained climbing but still rewards with fun downhill sections.
