The Alabama Bass Trail may be known for bass fishing, but there are many more reasons to visit. For example, the 13 lakes and rivers are surrounded by state parks and multiple hiking trails, making it a hiker’s paradise.
Let’s take a look at just a few of the trails to add to your explorations this year.
Alabama Reunion Trail and Campfire Trail
Wind Creek State Park
These moderate to difficult trails will take you across hardwood ridges and through tall pines where you will be able to see beautiful views of Lake Martin. The Alabama Reunion Trail is a 3.8-mile loop, while the Campfire Trail is just 1.8 miles but includes several steep areas.
Lake Guntersville State Park Trails
Lake Guntersville State Park
The trails of Lake Guntersville State Park range from .5 miles to 3.5 miles and connect with each other to make up a 36-mile loop. The Nature Trail’s .5 mile stroll is perfect for those wanting an easy and peaceful walk. For a more moderate hike, take Butler’s Pass. This 1.3-mile trail has some rocky sections but a beautiful scenic overlook that makes it worth the effort.
Overlook Park
Traverse 7.2 miles as you take in panoramic views of Lake Martin, stroll through pinewoods, and gaze at native azaleas and mountain foliage. Or choose just one of the three routes that make up the CRATA’s first trails, each one stunning in its own way.
If you are hiking on the Alabama Bass Trail, you can’t go wrong. The wonders of nature will surround you as you take in the local wildlife and native wildflowers. Plan your visit today and find your escape along the trail.
