Shoals MTB is made of a group of trail users from all disciplines: trail runners, cyclists, and hikers.
We come from different backgrounds, but share a passion for the outdoors and preserving the trails we love.
Our amazing community works together to #maketrailsbetter, and the Shoals MTB Chapter has taken on the responsibility of maintaining and developing the trails in the Shoals.
Our team of dedicated volunteers spend countless hours maintaining and improving the trails, ensuring they’re safe and enjoyable for everyone.
We are partners with local city and county governments and municipalities, Federal entities such as National Parks and Forests, as well as State entities such as State Parks and State Lands.
Our goal is to help the outdoor recreational community thrive and develop more opportunities for all types of trails users!
