TVA Nature Trail
Take a walk through time along this set of historic trails on the banks of Pickwick
Lake (Tennessee River) in northwestern Alabama. The footpath leads you through,
and over, the handiwork of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) from the
mid-1930s and through the site of a town that was once a major shipping center,
and you'll literally walk on water halfway across the lake on a restored railroad
trestle.
