November 2016 Alabama State Parks E-Newsletter

Wow, what a showing at the polls this week. A great display of democracy. It reinforces what we already knew - Our park supporters are in tune with us and you know our challenges. Thank you to the Alabama State Parks Partners and everyone else that shares our love of the precious natural resources that we all enjoy. As we look to the future we will continue to be great stewards of these resources. We will not change our philosophy or make hasty decisions. We are in this for the long haul, and we will focus on what a positive outdoor experience means to you. Thank you for your support.

Happy Veterans Day! We are proud of those who served this great country and provided us with the freedoms we enjoy today. In honor of Veterans Day, Alabama State Parks will waive the entrance fee for veterans at all state parks on November 11-13, 2016. Anyone who indicates they are a veteran will be admitted into the park day-use areas without charge.

We consider Veterans to be an important group as part of our service to the public. As a way to say "thank you" some of our Parks are offering Veterans Day specials that include discounts on overnight stays and meals.

The Fall season is here and our northern parks are great stops along the "Fall Color Trail". The overnight accommodations will get you right in the middle of the color show. You can book a reservation, dine at our restaurants, enjoy the fall color and never have to leave the park. This park video shows you all you need to know.

Looking for something fun to do with the family? Well, look no further. Make your plans to attend the Bigfoot Biobash Saturday, November 19th. This is a family friendly trail run and Conservation Festival at beautiful Cheaha State Park. All proceeds from the event will help support nature programs at the park.

We are always happy to host all types of races at our parks. From 5K trail runs to bike races and everything in between, we offer great places to pursue your passion and enjoy nature.

We understand that times can be tough and traveling for family vacations can be expensive. To help make your vacation more affordable, we offer specials so you can enjoy other parts of your trip. From cottages and cabins to lodge rooms and campsites, we offer overnight specials to suit anyone.

The Fall season is a great time of year to visit the parks. We offer family-friendly events that can be just the thing you need to get you and your family outside for the day. From the Orienteering club at Wind Creek State Park to the Parade of Lights at Joe Wheeler State Park, we have fun events for everyone.

Thanksgiving is a special time of year for us. We have developed great relationships with our park friends over the years by sharing Thanksgiving together.

Our Parks offer great locations for your business meetings, conferences and corporate retreats. With modern facilities and top-notch service, our planners and event specialists can organize the perfect agenda for your group function. Let our staff take care of you while you take care of business. This new park video shows you exactly what our facilities can provide for your next business function.
