Adventure Awaits At This Drive-Thru Safari Park In Alabama

What are some other outdoor adventures in Alabama?

• Monte Sano State Park (Huntsville): This pretty land sits on 2,140 acres offering a number of recreational activities on the 20 miles of scenic hiking trails and 14 miles of biking trails. Historians will appreciate that in the late 1800s, visitors came to the "Mountain of Health" for the fresh air, mineral springs, and extraordinary mountaintop views, especially in autumn with the leaves changing hues. The spring brings color too with the wildflowers and native azaleas blooming. Reserve a campsite, including one of the 14 rustic cabins that also have a history with the Civilian Conservation Corps. The park also offers campsites, a primitive campground, and a camp store.
• Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve (Atmore):  With 50 lakes, 6,000 acres of rich timberland, and a gorgeous waterfront on Big Escambia Creek, this place might just have it all. With all of the water, activities abound, such as tubing, canoeing, and kayaking. Hit the trails on foot, horseback, or bicycle. Or enjoy the sun on one of the sandy beaches. Reserve a campsite and make this a weeklong adventure, from 47 full-amenity RV sites to 15 tent sites, and even primitive camping for those people with a little more ambition.
• Little River Canyon National Preserve (Fort Payne): This serene property offers an unforgettable day away in nature. Pack a cooler and take advantage of the lovely picnic areas, walk the forested trails, and photograph the pretty waterfalls and breathtaking overlooks. One of the most interesting aspects of this preserve is that Little River flows for most of its length on top of Lookout Mountain. The rich, wooded scenery provides an attractive habitat for all kinds of wildlife and several rare and threatened plant and animal species. It is comprised of 15,288 acres, 11,042 acres of which are federally owned and managed.
