Northport, Alabama

·
Van de Graaff Arboretum and Historic Bridge Park stands out as PARA's first dedicated “nature park,” offering an exceptional blend of recreational opportunities amidst a rustic, semi-primitive setting. Although still in development, this unique park already boasts a variety of amenities, including fishing, hiking, and camping, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Spanning 141 acres, the park is conveniently located near a bustling population center, providing easy access to nature without venturing far from home. The landscape is characterized by 33 acres of open freshwater ponds, remnants of its past as a gravel pit, and nourished by the flowing waters of Mill Creek. While the park does not directly border the Black Warrior River, Mill Creek meanders through the area, eventually contributing to the river's flow. Additionally, the park features 10 acres of wetlands that support diverse ecosystems, including swamps, marshes, and bogs. This distinctive habitat fosters the growth of various plant and animal species, offering a sanctuary for wildlife and a unique experience for visitors. Whether you're looking to explore the trails, cast a line, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings, Van de Graaff Arboretum and Historic Bridge Park is a remarkable destination for nature lovers.
