One of several historic mines at Red Mountain Park in Birmingham
At Oak Mountain State Park, just south of Birmingham in the town of Pelham,
hikers are treated to a beautiful waterfall along the Peavine Falls Trail, the tranquil
serenity of Maggie's Glen, and an educational hike along the Treetop Trail to the
Alabama Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
For history buffs, just northeast of Montgomery is Horseshoe Bend National
Park. One of only two National Park Service areas in the state, Horseshoe Bend
was the setting for the decisive 1814 battle between General Andrew Jackson and
the local Native Americans that resulted in the forced removal of the tribes from
the region.
Another historic trail in the region of note is the fascinating Tannehill Iron-
works Historic State Park, where you will visit the old iron forge that once made
munitions for the Confederate army and has since been rebuilt.
