NORTH ALABAMA-With over 100 miles of trails, Land Trust of North Alabama offers plenty of spaces to relax, exercise, and connect with nature. Our public nature preserves are open from dawn to dusk daily (with the exception of Cane Creek Canyon) for hiking, biking, and outdoor adventure! All are free to access but your support makes these spaces possible. Select a property from the locations below for helpful information or to download a trail map.

Embrace Nature’s Path: Follow the Trails, Respect the Rules! To ensure a positive outdoor experience for all, please adhere to our simple land use rules:
Trail Rules
- No motorized vehicles
- Stay on marked trails
- Stay off wet trails (24 hours after rainfall). Using muddy trails creates ruts, erosion, and other trail maintenance problems.
- No new trail construction or alterations are allowed without prior permission.
- Leave no trace. Carry out what you bring in.
- Do not remove plants, minerals, or artifacts from the property. Instead, take a photo and share it with us (@landtrustnal) or on iNaturalist.
- Pets are welcome but must be leashed at all times.
- The following activities are NOT ALLOWED: fires, hunting, camping, flying of drones, slacklining, metal detecting, rappelling, and climbing on structures.
- Once trailhead parking is full, the preserve is closed for additional visitors. Do not park on the street or in a non-designated area. Consider visiting another Land Trust nature preserve or at non-peak times.
