Hiking & Birding Trails in Alabama 🦉🦆🦅

Hiking with granddaughter along the Tennessee River near Wilson Dam, TVA
Bird Site #8, along the Tennessee River below Wilson Dam 
Jimmy Sims Birding Trail #1, Joe Wheeler State Park
The original idea of Joe Wheeler State Park employee and Naturalist Jim Sims is that the birding trail is an easy 1/2 mile hike to the back of Weaver Creek. During the winter months, when the water levels are lowered, the formed mud flat becomes a haven and feeding ground for migrant and local wading birds and waterfowl.
The trail was built in the summer of 2007, incorporating the Eagle Scout project of Joshua Gray, BSA Troop #52, Rogersville, Alabama, and Joe Wheeler State Park.
The trail is dedicated to the memory of Jimmy Sims and his love of outdoor Alabama.

The land is dedicated as the Billingsley-McClure Shoals Creek Preserve to provide Recreational Opportunities for all to enjoy.
