The Red Rock Trail System® (RRTS) is a long-term master plan of trails, parks, bike lanes, and sidewalks connecting every resident of Jefferson County to a greenspace within one mile of their home. Red Rock currently has 160 miles on the ground! The Red Rock Action Plan outlines the near future of the RRTS: a 36+-mile trail loop around the greater Birmingham metro area, connecting the City’s three largest greenspaces.

- Greenways: Off-road, multi-use trails with a developed surface.
- Natural trails: Off-road trails with a natural surface.
- Bike lanes: Lanes for bike use only.
- Complete streets: Streets designed for all users, including bike lanes and sidewalks.
- Sharrows: Shared lanes for both bikes and cars.
We also have a “Taproom Trail” that shows you all of the breweries along the Jones Valley Corridor: the Hugh Kaul Trail, Rotary Trail, and Railroad Park. The Taproom Trail provide access to some of Birmingham’s best beer establishments.
