We are new to RV camping. We decided to make Oak Mountain our maiden voyage for our new rig. We a weekend 4 hour drive to get to Oak Mountain and stayed Friday night and Saturday, leaving Sunday mid-morning. We booked a reservation on Thursday night and drove in after work on Friday. We knew we would arrive after "closing" for the day so we called ahead to find out if that would be a problem. We were told not at all; there would be someone at the 24 hour manned gate and we could check in there. We did checking with the friendly individual at the gate, who shared lots of details and made us a map. We found our campsite easily from the maps and got busy setting up. Mind you this is the first time we've done this but had researched on blogs online, etc. The park ranger came around about 10-15 minutes into the process and stopped to talk. He was very friendly and offered to help. We did not need anything, but he gave us his number in case we needed anything. We quickly got set up, showered, and off to bed for a bright start in the morning. The campground was peaceful, well designed, and clean. In the morning, we hiked to the falls by route of the white to blue trail connection. This section was listed as a moderate hike and around a 1.6 mile hike overall. It was definitely a challenge bringing the dog along on this one. Lots of rocks to climb down and then back up. We are inexperienced hikers and managed it. But won't bring the dog on this trail again.The fall was small this time of year with it being a dryer season. It was still beautiful. We headed back to camp for lunch and to drop the dog off in the RV. Then set out to hike the blue trail from the trail head. We hiked to the king's chair which was breath-taking. The hike was moderately difficult for an inexperienced hiker, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Then we took the red blue connector to hike back to the trail head. The red trail was wide and easy sloping. Easy-peasy and glad we took the red back instead of the blue. Overall we ended up hiking around 10 miles on Saturday. It was exhausting and camp at the end of the day was a welcomed relaxation. We woke up Sunday morning took a short hike around the grounds to see the sites close by the camp ground. Then made a leisurely breakfast and packed up camp. The entire experience was excellent. I will refer all of my friends and return for a future stay!

Alabama Wildlife Center is Alabama’s oldest and largest wildlife rehabilitation facility, caring annually for almost 2,000 wild bird patients from more than 100 species. AWC is a nonprofit organization with a dual mission: (1) to provide medical and rehabilitative care for Alabama’s injured and orphaned native birds in order to permit their return to the wild, and (2) to educate people in order to heighten awareness and appreciation of Alabama’s native wildlife.

Some of the methods developed here are now used in rehab facilities all over the world.

Located in Alabama’s largest State Park, the Alabama Wildlife center is a must see stop while in the Birmingham area. Admission to the center is included in your park entrance fee though they would happily take any donations to help support their gargantuan effort of saving native bird species and educating the public. The Center it’s self has a large parking lot and some of the current patients to the clinic on display. This is the largest and oldest wildlife rehabilitation facility in Alabama but it is not a zoo, they prioritize the health and hopeful future release of the birds over guest viewing. Meaning some of the birds will be hard to see through windows/mesh/netting but please remember that’s what’s best for the bird in the long run. Some of the birds are part of their education program, such as Shelby the bald eagle. This means she is getting more use to human interactions daily and will as such be much more visible to guests. They sell shirts, magnets and coffee mugs to raise funds as well. In addition to the Center there is the Treetop Nature Trail where you can view the birds who will live at the center permanently due to being unreleasable. The trail is a boardwalk style platform with aviaries alongside and is wheelchair accessible. There is handicap parking available up the gravel path past the trail head. If you wanted to you can park at either end of the trail head and walk to the center/boardwalk area. It’s steep but beautiful.
