There is a boat ramp giving access to the Tallapoosa River right next to the Miller Bridge on the edge of the Horseshoe Bend National Park. The Tallapoosa is fairly wide and makes for decent boating. You are not supposed to fish except for from the area by the boat ramp.

There is a 2.8 mile nature trail in the park. Most of the other trails lead to exhibits about the park and are relatively short, paved, and handicapped accessable.
Good walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, water, bug repellant. Theme: HikingAddress: 11288 Horseshoe Bend Road, Daviston, ALPhone: (256) 234-7111Directions: Alabama Highway 49 about 12 miles north of US Highway 280.Website: http://www.nps.gov/hobe/index.htm

There is a small area set aside for swimming and wading. The water can be very refreshing on a hot summer day in Alabama.
Swim trunks (skinnydipping is discoraged)

There are several hiking trails throughout the 696 acre park. The one the ranger recommended, and that I hiked, was the trail to the falls. It was fairly short but steep at times and had rough footing. The falls was kinda nice though.
Good walking shoes, water, sunscreen a hat. Don't forget the bug repellant.

 Golf in Alabama by zrim
The layouts are fair, but at the same time most challenging.
The green's fees are very affordable, especially if you go during off peak periods or as part of a package. Great value for your money. I believe that carts are mandatory and with some of the elevation changes, that's probably a good thing. Leave a Comment Theme: Golfing
