Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve

Alabama


This nature preserve consists of several hundred acres of land carefully and lovingly managed for the public. On site, you'll find leaf-strewn ravines, forested paths, a lovely waterfall and a moderately difficult 6.22-mile trail that traverses all of the above. Located about 16 miles southwest of 'downtown' Tuscumbia.
