I've been here with people, by myself, and everything. I really recommend going to picnic here cause it's nice and relaxing. Plenty of dogs here too. This path also leads to the river market on Saturdays. There's also some food places along the trail as well. Just a nice little area. Overall: 10/10 would recommend for hanging out, walking, picnic dates, etc

The campground has a new bike trail that is 0.8 miles paved path that was wonderful for my family it leads to the public swimming area. We saw the beautiful lake and a family of deer. It really made the trip. There are at least 3 more camping loops along with a group camping area. The Fawn loop is hilly. At the time we camped, during CO-VID 19, the Bear loop was tent camping. The Fox loop had an open green space overlooking the lake. The Hoot Owl loop had lots of water access sites. https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231990

Nice bathrooms which for a busy Saturday was pretty well maintained and clean. Love the bench swings- sweet for 2 but big enough for a family of 4. Swings could be raised a little higher so feet don't drag. The piece de la resistance!!!!! The huge slide with the ropes to climb up on "designed for 5-12. 5 May be a bit young but it's nice to have a challenge for older kids (of all ages). There are so many plastic playscapes around the country that are "designed" for 5-12 whet a 9 year old won't be caught seen by their friends in it because it's a "baby thing". This was refreshing to see! Plus for so long our kids have been bubble wrapped and told to be careful we have decades of millions of wimps around. So nice to have a challenge! Good for development physically and mentally! Thank you TUSCALOOSA! Question... when and how do you access the parking lots. They were closed off which initially led me to believe it was a private park.

I visited Oak Mountain State Park as part of the Mammoth March Hike, fully aware it was going to be…read morea major undertaking--but it still managed to shock me. The steep climbs up and down the mountain were incredibly challenging. At one point, I even slipped and slid down part of the trail but thankfully managed to do so gracefully without hurting myself. Being from Florida, I was definitely not accustomed to the elevation gain I was about to face. There were plenty of moments throughout the hike where I questioned why I signed up for this challenge, but pushing through and ultimately finishing made it all worth it. Having the bragging rights to say I conquered this terrain feels incredibly rewarding. That day, I didn't notice much floral life, and most of the critters seemed to be hiding--likely due to the large number of people participating in the hike. That said, I was still lucky enough to spot a rattlesnake and a black racer, which made the experience even more memorable. There were a few noteworthy areas worth stopping for, including an open area near a dam‑like structure and several peaceful river and creek spots along the route. While the park is absolutely massive and I know there was so much left unexplored, the 23 miles I trekked over 9 hours was more than enough for one day. If I find myself back in the area, I might just dare to return and explore some of the parts of the park I didn't get to see. Truly a beautiful park and an incredible asset for those who live nearby and get to enjoy it regularly.

This was a last-minute stop based on a sign I saw along the side of the road, and it was absolutely…read moreworth it! I had some difficulty finding it, as there is a town called "Natural Bridge." Google directed me there, and not to the park, itself, which caused some confusion. Coming in from the I-10, take highway 13 North to road 278. Turning RIGHT takes you to the town. Turning LEFT takes you to the bridge. There are some signs, but they are worn, and obscured by vegetation. Arriving at the park, one is immediately greeted with picturesque views, and a trickling creek. The trees are majestic, and the parking ample. It's important to remember that this is rural Alabama, and not some big city. The admission is inexpensive, and the trails are simple. The people that run the gift shop are country folk, and are very kind. Mind your manners (and your children). Stay on the trails, walk carefully, and do what the sign says - "Take only pictures .....leave only footsteps. With that said, this place was amazing. The bridge is absolutely breathtaking, as is the rock formation called "Indian Head." Many inscriptions - some over 100 years old - are carved into the surrounding sandstone. There is dripping water under the bridge, so watch your step! The trail is primitive and there are roots sticking out here and there - be careful! Shoes with traction are a MUST here for safety reasons! Enough said - go enjoy this natural wonder for yourself!
