We drove up from Birmingham that…read moreevening and spent so many hours there walking around together and riding that tiny train once too. I was surprised the whole time bc it was not something I would think to care about except for taking my kids to when they little many years ago. However it was actually so enjoyable and neat to be at. It is filled with so many people clearly for a reason. I'd recommend anyone go to it even if they think it's not their type of thing. It is very cool for sure. Also, the last thing we did was hop on that little train( which I didn't care to do at all without little kids with me) yet it was a shocker how that man driving the train who shares about all things throughout the event that you get to see again from a different view on that train...he was super awesome. I actually would have ridden that train and listened to that man over and over and over again. He was fun to hear from. It is not super expensive so do not resist to do it. Gather up your group or just you and your spouse or for take your kids if they are still young. This is for sure a fun enjoyable thing to go see.

DO NOT STAY IN THE CABINS!!…read more Last night my wife and I swept the walls and floors of lady beetles flushing them down the toilet, since they are invasive. Around two we got to sleep. A few times we got woke up by a bite of two but most were gone or so we thought. We woke up to find the windows covered with them. We called again to ask for help and they sent down a housekeeper. After talking to a few employees we found out this has been an ongoing problem and that many people have cut their stay short. As I understand from what was said to me the management here is fully aware and wants to ignore the problem hoping it goes away instead of addressing it. This is a bad look for Alabama. If I travelled all the way here to stay in these lovely cabins and paid what we paid only to be swarmed by Asian Lady Beetles I would not recommend this beautiful park to anyone. It's not the bugs that give this a two. It's the attitude and lack of action by the management that got them that. The only reason the got a two is the cabin and park are beautiful.

The walk to Bald Rock is extremely easy, but there are areas along the boardwalk where you can step down into the woods and rocks if you like. For us, the highlight of our visit to the area was a hike to Pulpit Rock. That hike is a bit more strenuous, but still very short. I have indicated with a red dot on the map photo where this hike begins. The views are phenomenal. We actually enjoyed this hike the most. Keep your children on a leash.

He opened the store for us and he filled us in on the history of the place and showed us how the mill worked. It was very interesting to us. We bought the grits and cornmeal that had been freshly done the day before. The restroom was locked when I went (has number pad for the campers ) So we had to ask for it to b unlocked. The restroom was very nice . They have a covered bridge and peaceful trails. The trails unfortunately are not marked very well at all. We were afraid we would get lost so we didn't stay in the woods much. They have a camp ground for RVS and plenty of space . You can bring a tent :) Nice, little side trip w/ a bit of history.

A couple miles down the road I crossed paths with yet another sign for Kymulga, to which I kept driving. But then it started weighing on my mind and I decided to GPS it to see how far away it was. 5 miles...I'm early for my meeting, let's give this a try. Arriving at the park they have very reasonable rates ($3.00) and the place (considering it is the dead of winter) is really quite pretty. Only explored for a few minutes, since I needed to get back on the road, but they have disk golf and hiking along with fishing (license is required). Several picnic benches located around the covered bridge. Would make for a fun spot to go do additional exploring. Will definitely plan a day trip here....plus based on the other Yelp reviews there seems to be some good BBQ in the area.

Since we…read moreplanned to tackle a big 23‑mile hike the following day, we decided not to hike the entire park and instead kept it to about three miles. Even with a shorter hike, we were still able to experience and enjoy the park and its trails. My favorite part was Cambrian Overlook. Even though I'm scared of heights, I knew I had to push myself to the edge of the cliff to take in the view--and I'm so glad I did. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and worth every bit of bravery it took to snap a photo. If I find myself back in the area, I would definitely be open to returning and exploring more of what the park has to offer. It's a beautiful spot and a great option for hikers of all levels.

What a great place for outdoor activities!…read more Kind of on the edge or Rainbow City, this place has got space for all sorts of sports stuff!! When you first pull in, to the right, there are several soccer fields, to the left a huge parking area. As you go a little further, there are some really nice little league fields - great place to watch a game! As you drive past these fields and get to the back, they have a walking/biking path that circles around a pond and a golf frisbee course (not an easy one either!). The path, if you loop around and take all of the routes comes out about 4 miles (if you add some on the far back side). Really nice what they have done out there. You can kind of be in the thick of things, or you can totally do your own thing with minimal interactions with others that are out there. Really cool space, you can even stop here and do some star gazing on a nice clear night ... if you're so inclined.

Rainbow City has really put a lot into making a nice place for residents to get some exercise…read more Whether walking, running, biking, kids on scooters, you and your friends and family will find a paved, shady trail in a nice woodland setting. Much of the underbrush is cleared out and there is a pond with some pavilions around it. However, especially around back and edges there is more bushes and brush, and you will probably see squirrels, bunnies and unfortunately maybe a snake. A nice disc golf course winds around and throughout as well. In daylight hours I always feel safe here. You will meet plenty of others on the path, but not so many it feels congested. You can choose the main loop or outer loop, and it veers off onto the back side which has a sidewalk for more distance and variety. Total distance: If you go right from the gate, pass the pond, go to the back and turn off to the right and go through the extended back (along a dirt road), over the bridge and right up the sidewalk, cross the road to the continuing sidewalk, go all the way up and around the elementary school, come back and go around the back of the middle school, back to the sidewalk, back to the path by the dirt road. This time go right and go behind the ball practice things, that takes you back up to the front. Now turn left and go on the back side of the main loop and follow back to the gate ... whew! that's 4 miles.
