HUNTSVILLE-Land Trust of North Alabama will host a ribbon cutting for Green Mountain Trail, providing access to a whole new area of the mountain. Following the ribbon cutting, guests can experience the trail first-hand with a hike led by Land Steward Tim Barnack, who oversaw the 2-year construction process. The route (Moderate / 2 hours / Around 2.25 miles) meanders down the mountainside featuring impressive boulders and quiet woodland with approximately 580 feet in elevation change. Lots of volunteer time and skill went into the creation of this new path.
The ribbon cutting and dedication of this trial will be held on Tuesday, July 30 at 9:00 AM at Green Mountain Nature Preserve (Riverview Trailhead) – 5390 Riverview Dr SE, Huntsville, AL 35803 – Located off of SE South Shawdee Road on top of Green Mountain. This is a residential areas with limited parking. 
Land Trust of North Alabama has expanded recreational access on Green Mountain in South Huntsville with the creation of a new 3.2-mile trail. The official opening of Green Mountain Trail makes a new area of the mountain available for public use. The new area, referred to as Green Mountain North, features rocky, beautiful terrain in a forest setting with primary access from Riverview Drive at the top of the mountain. This addition to Green Mountain Nature Preserve is nearby but not connected to the existing and overwhelmingly popular 5.4-mile trail system at Alum Hollow Trailhead on South Shawdee Road (now Green Mountain South).
