A great place to wander in the City if Huntsville — the swamp is the most interesting part since there aren’t many city-owned swamps to walk/hike. Check it out after a flooding rain event. Minnows are spread out all over the swamp! You might see ducks, geese and other birds migrating in spring/autumn.

Very primitive. Not for young ones in strollers. Trails are hard to follow. Peaceful and quiet for nature watchers.

Absolutely beautiful. An easy nature walk with my young kids (ages 7 and 3.5).

What is there to say? I was so speechless when encountering this place. It's so beautiful and I wish I've hiked here longer, but it was hot out and getting late. Plus, I took a wrong path where I ran into a creek that prevented me crossing futher. There were many wildlife surrounding and I saw many butterflies and dragonflies. One of the dragonflies flew into my face so that was a bit of a shock. Anywho, I'd come back here one day.

Questions & Answers

Went to the trailhead near Taylor road. There is a red gate with a lock. Is it closed or can we go around the gate?

If it's got a lock don't drive past it especially or mega fines, but I do walk around it all the time.

Is it pet friendly

No, there are "No pets allowed" signs posted at the gate.
