Great state park with excellent facilities to meet the needs of primitive tent campers to those seeking to enjoy water sports, or trail riding near Alexander City, Alabama. The park is located midway between Birmingham and Auburn just a short ride off highway 280. Large lake is a main attraction here for fishing, boating, & swimming. Horseback trails also offer a great experience for beginner to advanced riders who want to combine their love of riding & an awesome natural setting. Wind Creek is the largest state park in the United States.
