The city is located in the heart of Chattahoochee Valley and at 100 mi/160 km in the south of Atlanta. Columbus is home to many museums and tourist sites.

In Columbus you will find a beautiful park, Flat Rock Park. In that park, every mountain biker who respects him/herself will have a blast. A great set of trails is there, waiting for you to ride them. These trails have something for every ambitious mountain biker.
You will come across various levels of difficulty, sometimes even at the same trail! You can start with the easy level and finish on the red. Most of the trails are smooth, flowing and fast. Other trails have rocks and roots, something that makes them more challenging.
Some of the trails have a couple of short climbs, rolling hills with open field connectors, fairly flat sections, wooden trail sections, steep climbs on the black section, open fielded sections and more. Most of the trails consist of several loops. Another way to make these trails even more challenging is to ride as fast as you can! They are designed for fast running.
The view around the trails is magnificent. A lovely lake is somewhere in the park, offering its waters to cool or just stay and watch how calm and peaceful they look. It is highly recommended to ride on these amazing, continuously changing trails.
