The kids enjoyed themselves and didn't want to leave. We came on a Monday so the parking wasn't bad and the Park was not crowded at all. Only downfall it was a super hot but we enjoyed ourselves. They have a concession stand that sells food or you can bring your own picnic set up. They have Avalon that you can rent or you can bring your own tent and utilize the picnic tables. The bathrooms are fairly clean, but of course there was no air circulating. I do wish they had some type of fountain where you could get filtered water from for free. Definitely on my to do list for next summer!

Not sure why we have never visited here before but now we have found this amazing place we will…read moredefinitely visit more often. The 30 minute drive was not bad from my house. We decided to visit on a Monday with the hopes of a small crowd. Well it was not packed but definitely not a small crowd. You can pay $20 for parking inside or free parking outside. We decided to go with free parking and it was just fine! The ticket booth was a little crowded when we arrived right after opening. The line did move fast. The price was as expected for a water park at $35 for adults and older kids and $28 for under 2 and elderly. The park is open from 10am until 6pm and we spent most of the day here. The park has several picnic tables available. We decided to bring a tent to cover it. Best idea we could have thought of! They offer some paid cover sitting areas but they were booked. Our set up was perfect... just should have bought more snacks/beverages. The park has a wonderful kids area! It has a setup with the dump bucket and kids play area. The large pool area is my favorite part. The water was the perfect temp and felt clean. I stayed here most of the day. They have a few water slides near the top of the park. It had good selections for older kids. My kids loved this part! We did visit the concessions and the food was good! We spent about $13 on each meal. Next time I will bring food to save. They have a decent restroom area that was clean and comfortable. So will all of that being said... we LOVED this experience! 10 out of 10! Well done Spring Valley!

Additionally, the staff were very polite and were happy to help me as a first-time visitor. As part of a group, I was able to tackle 2 Jeep Badge of Honor trails (404 & Switchback) and enjoyed many other trails besides those. The on-site wash bays are awesome, the parking is quite expansive and overall it was a great experience. The only real criticism I can give is that the trail signage really needs to be improved. The maps they have for sale in the main building help, but better on-trail signage would go a long way to assist people in getting around the park. Had a great time overall at Stoney Lonesome! I plan on returning and staying either at a campsite or in one of the cabins.

The owner, Logan, was there to make sure everything was going smoothly and to welcome you in. Cubbies and shoe rentals are to the left, and the workout spaces are to the right. The community members were so nice and welcoming, and the spin class itself was just what I needed. The equipment they have is quality, as are the instructors. If you're unsure, right now, the first class is free for you to come try for yourself.

How can you not love a park on a brisk morning looking over a lake!…read more The playground area is made of rock base and there is a sand pit. We went in the morning around 10am and the park was not too busy maybe around 5 kids. It wouldn't matter though the park is pretty big and spaced out with fencing. So it is pretty easy to keep up with your child and not feel over crowded.. Plus as an adorable little bonus they do have a swing that is a wheelchair swing for children who are handicapped Just on the off-chance you go on the offseason it can be a little noisy during clean up but I always see that as a good sign because they're keeping the park clean and not many beautiful places are kept as nice as this one was being kept.. The trail has photo opportunities for kids and workout equipment along the way! Also tons of rest stops picnic tables and just beautiful views.. it also looks like there is a stage that could potentially be for music and you can rent gazebos with picnic tables under it.

I had asked some coworkers where to go for a simple pinic in Cullman. Two different people…read moresuggested Sportsman Lake which is behind the Cullman Fairgrounds. After going to a movie my husband and I picked up a pizza and set out to find Sportsman Lake. Heading north on 31 we found the sign and turned left. After passing the fairgrounds we headed into the park area. We found an empty picnic table and devoured our pizza. The small lake is beautiful with an elegant white pier. There were a lot of people but the park is spacious so we were still able to enjoy a peaceful meal by the water. There were several pavillions which are perfect for family gatherings, a playground for the children, and even a little train but I'm not sure of the operating hours. Several families were feeding the ducks and geese and couples were taking a stroll on the walking path. I definitely plan to come back the next time we are looking for a peaceful place to relax.

Course is in a beautiful mountain setting with several lakes and small streams on the course. Just…read moreplayed (early April '26) it for the first time. This course has the "potential" to be a fantastic course with significant rolling terrain, lakes, streams, a few elevated tee boxes, both some narrow and wide fairways to challenge all levels. The issues I saw today I believe others have reported as well. Tee boxes in pretty rough shape, very little grass to hit from, I'd say most with ~50% grass and sand. The greens while challenging with some tough slopes and undulations are also a little bumpy / rough. To me the greens appear to need significantly more watering and wouldn't hurt to small hole aerate, clean, re-sand, overseed and roll to work out the bumpiness. This course has the potential to be a really nice challenging course to play with some focus on the tee boxes and greens. Fairways are generally good with a few rough spots here and there. Currently for the price (wkday $30 w/ cart for 18), you can't complain. With improvements to tee boxes and greens would easily justify higher price (~$50) to play. But no matter what you will enjoy the scenery while playing the course. Enjoy!
