As you enjoy your #AlabamaStateParks, help us celebrate Alabama's 200th birthday. This bicentennial milestone promotes natural beauty, diverse people and rich history of the State of Alabama. 2019 also marks the Alabama State Parks 80th Anniversary of serving the public. We will continue to improve our facilities so that you can enjoy your parks more than ever.
It’s that time of year again-- Flowers are flourishing, and the Mentone Rhododendrone Festival is here! Lots of wonderful things are lined up for the festival including some great local talents. DeSoto State Park is a short drive from the fun so make your overnight plans at the park.

Did you know the Alabama Birding Trails include most of the Alabama State Parks? This partnership provides great access for bird watching and educational sessions. These teacher workshops play an important role in sharing nature knowledge and providing a gateway for young minds.
