Piedmont Trail Town | Piedmont Trail Town

Welcome to Piedmont, Alabama

Piedmont sits where the Chief Ladiga Trail, the Pinhoti Trail, Terrapin Creek, and Indian Mountain ATV Park all come together. Our historic downtown is just steps from rail-trail, singletrack, and river—making Piedmont one of the South's most naturally connected trail towns.

Whether you arrive by bicycle, hiking boots, kayak, or car, you’ll find local food, friendly shops, and a community that has invested in outdoor adventure as an engine for Main Street revival.

Use this site as your trip-planning hub, then jump out to our partner sites for deep-dive information on specific trails, rivers, and businesses.
