USFS 142 - Moody Bend

USFS 142, "Moody Bend", is an out-and-back trail in Bankhead National Forest. Moody Bend offers wildlife viewing, hunting, hiking, and dispersed camping opportunities. There are two wildlife openings along the route and the entire route is part of the Payne Demonstration Area. There is an outdoor classroom near the entrance to the trail. The route has gravel portions but is mostly packed dirt. There could be several large pools during the rainy season, but all have a solid bottom. The turnaround spot at the end is fairly large and can accommodate vehicles pulling off-road trailers.
