Sunday, March 9th, Tony and I drove the 20 miles north to Oak Mountain State Park to see the…read morePeavine Falls. We had to hike out and even do a little rock mountain climbing to lower ourselves down to the top of the falls. I even had to lean out on some rocks to take pictures.. This was a very hard climb and my heart was really pumping on this hike but it felt good. The falls were lovely.

For what it is I really enjoyed my time here. Noone was in sight we arrived and the store was…read morelocked. A nice man must have saw us and met us on his golf cart. He opened the store for us and he filled us in on the history of the place and showed us how the mill worked. It was very interesting to us. We bought the grits and cornmeal that had been freshly done the day before. The restroom was locked when I went (has number pad for the campers ) So we had to ask for it to b unlocked. The restroom was very nice . They have a covered bridge and peaceful trails. The trails unfortunately are not marked very well at all. We were afraid we would get lost so we didn't stay in the woods much. They have a camp ground for RVS and plenty of space . You can bring a tent :) Nice, little side trip w/ a bit of history.

So this stop was totally be accident. As I was travelling I came across a sign that read Kymulga…read moreGrist Mill & Covered Bridge. I thought to myself that sounds kind of cool and kept driving. A couple miles down the road I crossed paths with yet another sign for Kymulga, to which I kept driving. But then it started weighing on my mind and I decided to GPS it to see how far away it was. 5 miles...I'm early for my meeting, let's give this a try. Arriving at the park they have very reasonable rates ($3.00) and the place (considering it is the dead of winter) is really quite pretty. Only explored for a few minutes, since I needed to get back on the road, but they have disk golf and hiking along with fishing (license is required). Several picnic benches located around the covered bridge. Would make for a fun spot to go do additional exploring. Will definitely plan a day trip here....plus based on the other Yelp reviews there seems to be some good BBQ in the area.

The facilities here are pretty awesome. There are four baseball fields that host Spring Youth…read moreLeague Baseball from March until the end of June and Girls' Youth League Baseball from March until late May. Three of the fields are primarily for practices. There are two courts for Tennis or Pickleball and an 18 hole disc golf course. They have a 12 and under playground with plenty of shade and seating for parents and picnics and a 1/4 mile walking trail that will take you along the stream to the neighboring Goose Pond Park. The walk is peaceful and dog friendly as long as you keep them on a leash and clean up after them. The City Park is often the location for city events, fairs, carnivals, and food giveaways. It is always well maintained and right next to the Recreation Center, which is available to rent. Also nearby is the City Pool. I highly recommend taking time to enjoy thi

It doesn't look like much on the outside.The parking area is large and gravel covered. They have handicapped parking right next to the bridge that is the entrance to the park. The bridge crosses Goose Pond Creek. People often fish from the bridge or just prop up to take in the peaceful flow of water and see if they can glimpse the fish below. The park just received an update. The much used, cracked and broken walking trail has been re-paved and looks wonderful, cutting through the grass, trees, and flowers. Multiple benches line the walk way, providing nice shady spaces to relax or read. Lamps provide light for late afternoon to late night visitors. Also on the walking trail are a set of restrooms that are usually clean. There is plenty of room to play here, among the trees. Look closely and you may find a Kindness Rock. For those unfamiliar with these little happy pick me ups, Kindness Rocks are rocks or pavers that people paint positive happy artwork on and hide for others to find and collect. The idea is that one message, at the right time, can change someone's entire day, outlook, life. Some are quite beautiful. There are Facebook groups dedicated to giving clues where to find them. Come try to find some or paint your own and leave them in the park to brighten someone's day. Squirrels are plentiful, here, and almost tame. They are used to visitors bringing them peanuts and will follow you. The park has a nice pavilion for picnics or parties. It's quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, if you have a dog, they can not accompany you across the bridge, into the main park. Dogs are more than welcome on the long walking trail right before you cross the bridge to your right, though. It will take you straight across to the city park, which has a children's playground, pavilion, walking trail, picnic tables, base ball fields, tennis courts, and disk golf. Goose Pond Park stays pretty busy. There are usually people walking the trails anytime you visit. The shade from the trees gives welcome relief from the heat in the Summer. I highly recommend you check it out.

A few cool tunnels to walk through that the kiddos will love. Round trip from the parking area was 3 miles. Can't wait to come back. The dogs loved it!

It's open to the public. Plus, the best part is for parents, it's a fenced area so kids won't wander off to streets or areas they shouldn't be in. It's in a historical neighborhood of Montgomery and there are several local independent businesses nearby like Cafe Louisa, Tomatinos, El Rey, Leroys, etc. Grab a nice lunch from there and enjoy a beautiful day here. The only downside is that, there are no public restrooms but I am not sure if the church has them or not. Thus, one star deduction for now but a totally safe place for kids to explore.

There is not a playground here (sorry kiddos) but what you do find are many trails to walk and enjoy . You actually might not even see another person . This is a huge park with many trails intersecting one another. There are plenty of informative signs all around, benches and just tranquil scenery. How could you not like sitting beside a creek listening to the sounds of nature. Most parks miss the whole point of what a park is supposed to b. There is history around if you look hard enough . I have been twice so far and haven't seen all the trails yet. You will see turtles sunning themselves and colorful birds They have one bathroom at the entrance and a pavilion with picnic tables right beside the parking area. If you like nature (as I do!) , wildlife, and peace and quiet this is your jam. It is mine:) Now women word of warning I wouldn't come here by yourself straight up. The place is so huge and I'm sorry if you go on the long trails it could b dangerous. Just b cautious and observant. So this is a more of a wild park than people are used to. The parking lot is gravel. If you love to explore nature as I do! You should love it:) I love the history of this place which many parks erase or don't highlight enough (Alabaster cough cough) So take a water bottle, a snack, and love of exploring and go check this place out. Please though respect the park don't litter, and have some time in nature. Quietly please ... Some of us love to get away from the bustle of society and recharge in peaceful surroundings..I can't wait to go again :)
