State parks offer a great way to enjoy the wonders of nature. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, and birdwatching are a few ways to spend a day visiting a local state park. With the cool weather approaching, state parks along the Alabama Bass Trail are calling your name!

Alabama River: Roland Cooper State Park 

This park appears on Alabama’s Black Belt Birding Trail, a popular spot for fishing and birdwatching.

Lake Eufaula: Lakepoint State Park 

The variety of wildlife, including the American alligator, is just one of the many compelling reasons to visit The Bass Capital of the World.

Lake Guntersville: Lake Guntersville State Park

Activities among the 6,000 acres of natural woodlands include a zipline, a golf course, guided hikes, and much more.

Lake Martin: Wind Creek State Park 

One of the largest state-owned campgrounds in the United States provides opportunities for RVs, equestrian camping, camping cabins, and easy access to water adventure on the 40,000-acre Lake Martin.

Pickwick Lake & Wheeler Lake: Joe Wheeler State Park 

Boaters traveling the Great Loop visit the gorgeous waterfront lodge every fall for an annual conference. But you don’t need to be part of that to enjoy the golf course, marina, camping facilities, and numerous activities any time of year.

Every park provides a spot to relax or participate in recreational fun while enjoying the native flora and fauna around you. We will see you out on the trail!
