Jones Farm Park has a flat, paved path that winds around two large ponds. One section running along…read moreone of the ponds is gravel, but it can be avoided. There is always a pretty good sunset, as it reflects off the still water! There are a few pavilion coverings with picnic tables, as well as a few benches around the ponds. I quite often see people fishing. There are a numbers of ducks, so sometimes you have to watch your step to avoid their droppings. There are no bathrooms and the parking lot is pretty small. Although, there is a short pedestrian bridge connecting the path to the parking lot of the shopping center nearby (with Handel's ice cream and Peppered Pig). Also, on the far side of the park (behind the second large pond), the path connects to the sidewalk on Carl T Jones (close to Yogurt Mountain). You can also cross 4 Mile Post at a crosswalk with flashing lights to get to a section of the Aldridge Creek Greenway.

This is a nice park that I have driven by 1000s of times and never really noticed…read more Out during COVID, after a long work day and then afternoon errand day, my best friend and I enjoyed a lightly sprinkling afternoon break under the pavilion at Jones Farm Park. Since it was sprinkling out, there were only a few people out. A man BF knew walking his beautiful pup, Lilly and a man and his son who were fishing. I asked them what they caught and they caught a turtle! I was happy they caught and released the little critter. Or maybe it was big, I didn't get a chance to see it. Tom and Lilly were a delight to talk to - well Lilly didn't talk or bark either. And the pavilion and two ponds were a nice respite from the long day both BF and I had. There were ample garbage cans, nice walking/running paths, maybe (I wasn't sure) a free little library (it was empty making it hard to tell what it was), the pavilion with picnic tables and plenty of seating and lots of geese. Why no 5th star? Tom told us the goose poop was cleaned up recently, but it really was not cleaned all that well under the pavilion. Do check out Jones Farm Park, it is really pretty and peaceful. Looks like a decent spot to fish, too!

Monte Sano State Park is an absolute gem! The park offers stunning overlooks that provide…read morebreathtaking views, especially at sunset. There are endless hiking trails for all skill levels, each one more scenic than the last. Climbing the fire tower is a must--it gives you a whole new perspective of the area. To top it off, the disc golf course is one of the best I've played, with challenging holes surrounded by natural beauty. Whether you're here for hiking, disc golf, or just to take in the views, Monte Sano has something special for everyone. We managed to make it right before a huge storm opened up and enjoyed the overlook and a few hiking trails. The drive up is nice and scenic filled with windy roads. As we were leaving definitely be alert as the hill down is extremely windy and dangerous with a drop off. There is a fee you pay per person to enter which was not expected but it came to $5 per adult and the money goes back into the park.

On one of our "joy ride" outings with Mom, we drove around The Vision in SE Huntsville, just off of Hobbs Island Road. It is a Christian camp and retreat center and offers overnight accommodations. Meeting spaces and activities including a zipline tour, high and low ropes course, archery, tomahawk throwing, swimming, hiking, canoeing, fishing, and more. The Lodge includes a banquet hall with meeting space for 100, kitchen access, game room with ping-pong, pool table, air hockey, TV with Wii, and also has a movie theater. The lake was sizeable and is stocked with, at least, catfish. The swimming pool looked clean and inviting! The Vision was closed the day we drove around, and we didn't get to see inside any of the facilities. It's anything but rustic based on the photos on their website. I love their motto "get away - get near." If I weren't deathly afraid of heights I would certainly "zip" here!
