The Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail in East Central Alabama has 40 sites, from Alabama’s highest mountain to the shores of Lake Martin, the state’s first Treasured Alabama Lake.
The bird habitat found here is as varied as the scenery. From a paved walking trail in the middle of a city park to an adventurous float down a scenic river, you’ll find an activity that fits your interest.
Sparkling clean and refreshingly uncrowded, Lake Martin, Alabama, boasts nearly 750 miles of wooded shoreline and more than 44,000 acres of sparkling beauty. It’s the perfect place for fun family memories to put down roots you can return to for generations to come. You’ll find the food tastier, the laughs louder, the people a little kinder, and relaxation that much easier. Come discover what the lake has to offer.
Picnic Area, Scenic Overlook and Trails
This park is provided by Alabama Power Company and provides a wonderful setting with picnic tables, seating area, and observation platform for probably the best view of Lake Martin.
CRATA’s first trails constructed in 2004 consist of three (3) trails for a total of 7.2 miles. All three trails are tied together so you can hike from 1 mile to 7 miles with several combinations.
Great views of Lake Martin, mountain longleaf pine, native azaleas, and mountain laurel are just a few of the interesting things that will delight the hiker.
