Riders of every experience level are invited to a relaxed, social mountain bike outing at Chewacla State Park. Routes are decided on the spot based on who shows up, and the group typically breaks into smaller packs so everyone can ride at a comfortable pace, from easy cruising to quicker flow. Options often include the CAMP trail at about 1 mile returning to the parking area and the CCC trail at about 3 miles returning to the lot. The ride itself is free, but the park collects an entrance fee. Prior and current military with ID receive free entry. Admission is $5 per person for ages 12 to 61, $3 for children 4 to 11, and $3 for seniors 62 and older. The group gathers in the second parking lot.
