There's really too much awesomeness to type in here. This place is truly special. And even that is a massive understatement.I relish that alot of folks don't know about this forest and the even juicier Sipsey Wilderness locked inside of it's boundaries. Maybe the lack of notoriety will keep this special place special for years to come. I have a 5 & 7 year daughter and they absolutely love this place and all the nooks, crannies, and magic it has to offer. They can't wait to go back and sleep in the woods every time we head back home. Oh, and the waterfalls 😅 Let's just say there are a few of those as well 😉

Good trails, not much elevation. Unfortunately they are the worst marked trails I've ever hiked. Lost internet service a few miles in. Some really cool rock formations. Have a map downloaded ahead of time.

Bankhead National Forest/Clear Creek Recreation is a great place for hiking, swimming, boating, camping. It has very nice clean restrooms with showers, picnic areas, pavilions for parties (by rental), it has nice playground for kids they can even ride there bikes around the whole place. Even your dogs are welcome just not at the swimming area and must be on leashes. It's just a very nice family oriented place.

This national forest is thick and beautiful. You will find some very nice greenery around here.

Beautiful rock formations. Land of waterfalls....due to drought though, no water falling! Phone signal tree available!

Nice and quiet out here at the Wolf Pen Camp. You got some road noise but not very bad. Forest Ranger rides through several times a week. Very reassuring. No running water,no electricity and no restrooms, so come prepared. Make sure you bring a shovel, just in case. 12 to 14 miles from Halleyville Al. and Walmart, Dollar General,as well as restaurants. About the same drive to Double Springs Al. And Wren Al. both have Dollar General Stores.

Flint Creek Multiple Use Trail is closed!! The official website and signage on the gates state clearly that the trail reopens 12/22/2023. But it is CLOSED!!!!! As of 12/26/2023 it is closed until further notice for logging. We made the mistake of driving 4.5 hours round trip with our son to ride our dirt bikes. Very disappointing when we arrived to find it closed. Management was apologetic but made no effort to change the information on the website or signage on the gates to state that it is closed until further notice for the logging. Do not make the mistake we did! Do not trust the information on the official website! I requested that google mark this trail as temporarily closed! It is just not that difficult to give correct information online as to whether a trail is open or closed!!!

Great place to visit. Plenty of public hunting land, and plenty of hiking trails.
