The Oak Mountain State Park is just a short distance outside of the hustle and bustle of Birmingham, offering a great escape for a day from the city.

Even though the park is within such close proximity to Birmingham’s city center, Oak Mountain still provides a great destination for getting out to the countryside and a day trip surrounded by beautiful nature. As Alabama’s largest state park, Oak Mountain State Park provides abundant opportunities for fun that keep visitors returning.

The grounds include swimming holes, a small beach, camping spots, a Wildlife Center, trails for mountain biking, and walking trails.
