Beautiful trails and vistas at the back end of the park. Great place to walk, run, hike, mountain bike. Don’t forget the $5 entrance fee if you are visiting for the first time.

Such a cheap, beautiful and fun place for families of all sizes! Pet friendly, and some of the most beautiful trails in the state! We hiked the white trail to Peavine Falls today. The water was up, and flowing beautifully! Theres so much to do for adult admission of $5!!! I recommend everyone bring their family here at least once!!

Wonderful place for a day out with the family. Lots of stuff to rent to enjoy water activities. Nice sand area for kids to swim. Prople were out on boats and fishing. The only complaint I have us most state parks are $5 or $10 per car load as long as you dont abuse it. This place was $5.00 each person in the car. My granddaughter was free for being under 2. The Orange Beach state Park that has showers and more for you to use is only $5.00 a car load. Other than the cost this is a great place to take the family for the day.

$5 per person to come hike? That’s outrageous. Horrible thinking oak mountain state park. Not paying $25 for a 5 people to come hike when red mountain state park is free.
