Explore the Trails of Gulf State Park

Rattlesnake Ridge

Gopher tortoises. Armadillos. Woodpeckers. Don’t let the rattlesnake name fool you. There’s plenty of other animals to see.

Cotton Bayou

This paved trail, lined with pine trees and intersecting at Catman Road, brings you closer to other trails and activities such as Boulder Park, Rosemary Dunes, and the Butterfly Garden.

Gulf Oak Ridge

Ancient mossy oaks and beautiful vistas alongside a diverse amount of native wildlife make this the perfect place to walk and relax. It’s even designated as a stop on the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail registry.

Lakeview Trail

Circle the west bank of scenic Lake Shelby as you take in the marshy shore and all its flora and fauna. Don’t forget to stop by the dog pond with your furry friend or make a trip to Woodside Restaurant for a relaxing dinner.
