We had such an awesome time at Cathedral Caverns State Park! The cave is absolutely gorgeous and…read morethe cave's "cathedral" ceilings are amazing to look at. Our guide was great, super friendly and had lots of interesting stories about the cave and how it was formed. The tour is really well done, the walkways are easy to navigate and there were plenty of opportunities to take in the amazing views. Be warned that it is a little chilly in the cave, but you should be good with a decent jacket.

This lake front park has a nice, paved walkway along the lake front, with plenty of trees for shade. There is a pier for fishing, ball fields, pavilions, and benches to sit on to enjoy the view.

It was NOT easy being on the 4th floor in such cramped quarters! The third day we took a drive and found Jackson County Parks & Marina. We took a chance and visited the office. The young lady could not have been kinder. We were able to rent a two bedroom cabin with a gorgeous lake view. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. There are walking paths, boats to rent, a little BBQ restaurant, room for campers and I think tents as well. We highly recommend this place and may even come back to actually vacation and not be running from a hurricane!!! Thank you, Jackson County Parks!!!!

We started our stay in Scottsboro with a horrible experience with another campground. We decided…read morenot to stay there because everyone was packed into the sites! We decided to try Jackson County Park. The experience of calling the park was nicer than what I expected. The gal told me about a few available sites and then called me back to let me know there was another available spot that I would probably like better. The site is absolutely beautiful and almost perfectly level. The view of the lake is gorgeous! The sites are spaced so nicely it actually feels like you have space without intruding on another campsite. (For the record, we're pulling a 29' travel trailer). There's enough space to pull your slides and hook up and still have space to park your pulling car. The grounds are beautiful and there's plenty of space to enjoy yourself and maneuver. I am just immensely happy with our stay. I would absolutely wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone looking.

From rock formations to views across the valleys. Have an open schedule when coming here, full tank of gas, water and your waking shoes, if you have time bring the tent or camper. If you time is short here it will be one of those places you will come back to. Every time I visit I find some things new to see. If you are coming for extended stay. There are several other state and local parks close by, good local food eateries with 15-30 min drive major towns with 1-1,1/2 hour drive. If you have not experienced the beauty of Alabama this is a don't miss location.

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.

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!

It…read moreis set back a decent way from Chaney Thompson Rd. at the base of Green Mountain along Aldridge Creek, two miles from Ditto Landing. Sister and I took Mom for a quick ride through the park last Saturday and it looked really nice from the car! Amenities include: variety of playground equipment for all ages, dog park (I think 2 actually - 1 for large dogs and 1 for small), walking trail, multiple pavilions with picnic tables, disc golf, restrooms (with baby changing stations in all restrooms), archery range, and free little library. There didn't appear to be an abundance of shade but there are, I believe, two covered pavilions. Some complaints I read are the disc golf and dog park areas hold water and get super soggy after it rains and the swings are too high for most children to climb on to on their own. Also, some people noted the playground mulch needs to be replaced. A note of caution I saw is that there is no fence around the playground area so be sure to keep a close eye on the little kiddos. I'm looking forward to going back to this park in the spring!

They have a ramp on the exit side of the ranger station that has envelopes to put your admission fee. Our fee (single vehicle/no overnight stay) was $6. Based on our short visit I would highly recommend returning.
