Russell Cave National Monument is one of the best Alabama state parks. The attraction is much more than a simple cave; it's a noteworthy archaeological site that contains a more complete record of prehistoric cultures than almost any other site in the Southeast.
There's evidence that the cave provided shelter for prehistoric people as long ago as 10,000 B.C., and visitors can learn about the history of the people who lived here by taking a guided tour along the boardwalk to the mouth of the cave.
Rangers offer prehistoric tool demonstrations by request, and there are also several picnic tables and a short hiking trail for visitors to enjoy.
