The water was beautiful and the swimming areas are clean and fun for kids. The creamery doesn't allow pets inside ( i agree with that ) but when I joked with staff about having to leave my dog outside while I bought ice-cream they quickly offered her a Pup Cup of cream!! I was blown away! The open air train ride was fabulous! $1 per person one way or $2 round trip. They also allow your pet to ride with you!! The hiking trails were clearly marked and well maintained. I recommend bug spray as it is still very woodsy. The country store had essentials and souvenirs. We did not camp here due to the smaller camp sites and close proximity to other campers. We prefer the more open campground lay outs but would consider it during a less crowded season. The bath house was very clean! We plan to go back and attend trade days!

If you are looking for a darker campground, this is absolutely not the place. They have so many white lights throughout the campground at night it is blinding.

It states on their website and on various signs around the park to not bring your dogs in to the trade day area but I noticed a couple of people were walking theirs around. I plan to follow up with them to get some clarification. Overall, this makes for a fun day and it is really cool to see all of the old mills.

I stumbled upon this by accident while on a vacation trip with my family from Lousiville to Destin. We stopped over in Birmingham as a halfway point and this marker was at the corner of the hotel we stayed at. Naturally intrigued by the name I googled what it meant it had to do with the once surrounding buildings on wan corner being so big. Overall interesting and neat call back to do American and Birmingham history. Not much to look at as it just a marking on the ground. But cool nonetheless.

Waldo Covered Bridge (also known as the Riddle Mill Covered Bridge) was built in 1858 in what is…read morenow the Talladega National Forest. It isn't hard to find, but does require a little effort. Located out of view behind Old Mill restaurant just off Rt. 77, you can reach it by following the restaurant driveway (which used to be the main road towards the bridge) to the parking area. The bridge will come into view the further you go back and believe me when I tell you it has seen better days. Quite frankly it appears to be in covered bridge hospice. While efforts have been made to renovate the bridge, it remains in a state of limbo since being condemned in the 1960's and sits inaccessible to the public without its approaches (ramps on each side that connect the bridge to the road). It is the second oldest surviving historic bridge in Alabama, but is in desperate need of maintenance and repair. You can visibly see the frame beginning to lean and looks as if a stiff wind would knock it completely over. Would be a shame to loose this 157 year old treasure, especially considering she stands in her original location. Nearby is the Helen Keller Campus for the blind & def and the City of Talledega, home of Will Ferrell's character Ricky Bobby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXmD6qdDCDE Total length - 115 feet FINAL THOUGHTS If something isn't done immediately these may be the last pics you will see of this ancient relic before her demise. A heavy snow storm might be more weight than this bridge can take on her weakened frame before crashing into the river below. Saddens me to think that something which has served so many has been abandoned and left to die as if it never had any importance at all.
