I visited Oak Mountain State Park as part of the Mammoth March Hike, fully aware it was going to be…read morea major undertaking--but it still managed to shock me. The steep climbs up and down the mountain were incredibly challenging. At one point, I even slipped and slid down part of the trail but thankfully managed to do so gracefully without hurting myself. Being from Florida, I was definitely not accustomed to the elevation gain I was about to face. There were plenty of moments throughout the hike where I questioned why I signed up for this challenge, but pushing through and ultimately finishing made it all worth it. Having the bragging rights to say I conquered this terrain feels incredibly rewarding. That day, I didn't notice much floral life, and most of the critters seemed to be hiding--likely due to the large number of people participating in the hike. That said, I was still lucky enough to spot a rattlesnake and a black racer, which made the experience even more memorable. There were a few noteworthy areas worth stopping for, including an open area near a dam‑like structure and several peaceful river and creek spots along the route. While the park is absolutely massive and I know there was so much left unexplored, the 23 miles I trekked over 9 hours was more than enough for one day. If I find myself back in the area, I might just dare to return and explore some of the parts of the park I didn't get to see. Truly a beautiful park and an incredible asset for those who live nearby and get to enjoy it regularly.

I have many friends who love to walk their dog at the park or bring them to be social with other dogs. Not to mention the park lights up at night to illuminate the walking track for those who want to enjoy the later evening. The park has a multitude of tournaments or trainings they do. There is soccer, Street hockey, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, you practically name it. This park is one of my favorite places to go and enjoy the weather. Days like this where its sunny with a crisp breeze just creates pure bliss. Would definitely recommend the park to enjoy to other friends.

"You want to leave the coast to come to Birmingham... for watersports?"…read moreWhen my brother, who's the president of his college wakeboarding club, asked if he could come visit, I was a bit surprised. Clearly, I had no idea what a gem of a wake park our new city has to offer. Nestled in the beautiful Oak Mountain State Park, just a few hundred yards from the Highway 119 entrance, Flipside has two cables, super welcoming staff, and an impressive set of features for a small operation tucked into a state park (FYI: they also rent SUPs, kayaks, and canoes for the more leisurely inclined). Out of our group, my brother has been to the most places, and said Flip Side exceeded the places he'd ridden in the Carolinas and compared favorably to cables he'd ridden in Florida. Obviously, this isn't a massive compound like Valdosta, but there's a nice variety of jumps, rails, etc. for the size. When we visited in late fall, the lake was a bit low, which made the rails a bit more challenging (but a challenge several in our group enjoyed). Do be sure to check the hours, as they are seasonal and weather-dependent.

I also love the indoor track on the second level. One lap is equal to 0.21 miles so it makes it easy for me to get a mile or more in when I have downtime. There's also a place where you can do a 40 yard dash. You can also do wall climbing at the Finley Center. I'm not sure of the pricing, but my husband took our boys and they loved it. There are several different walls that can climbed. The facility is kept very clean and put together. My only complaint is the lines need to be redrawn in the parking lot. It's difficult to see the lines at night. Of course I'll be back--I have no choice. Lol!
