Nature and landscape
Sipsey Wilderness
The Sipsey Wilderness offers a forest ridge nature with numerous waterfalls and an ancient wooded territory character. The trails reveal the strength of a preserved relief, offering a real breath to anyone looking for the forest depth of northern Alabama.
Place indismissible
Natural Bridge Park
The Natural Bridge Park presents a natural arch hidden in the forest, long and imposing, accessible by a short path that highlights the strata. The proximity of the walls allows to read the geology almost to the touch, with a rather intimate mountain frame.
Nature and landscape
Kinlock Falls
Kinlock Falls Seen as a large fall on a rocky slab, accessible by forest road. The site is ideal for observing the river that straddles before returning to depth, especially when the current is strong and the wooded landscape frames the scene.
