TALLADEGA, Alabama --  Top Trails, an outdoors recreation park opened last year on 2,800 acres near Talladega.   The park is built  on the former site of an old military ammunition storage facility and transformed the acreage into a place where ATV and dirt bike riders can ride on miles of trails. The environmental center is now complete and a new archery range has opened.  

Coming later this year is a 25 acre mud bogg for off highway vehicles (OHV), ATVs and UTVs. "Any vehicle a guest wants to get muddy, this will be the place",  said Mic Barnett, the park director.

Power, water and sewage will be provided. There are primitive camp sites on the property now. Primitive campers have access to the new bath and shower facility at the environmental center that just opened.

The cost for admission to the park is $5.00 per person per day and $10 per person pay day. Prices for the full service campsites have not been set.

Hours of operation are 6 a.m.- 10 p.m. seven days a week. Overnight campers have access 24 hours a day.

 The park is located just off AL275, the new section of highway east of Hwy 77 about 3 miles near Talladega. Look for the sign on AL 275 at Welch Road.
