Hiking and Walking
Trails
There are a number of
excellent hiking and
walking trails in The
Shoals for the nature
enthusiast.
Walking
For those who prefer a
smoother path, the TVA
Reservation in Colbert
County has paved walking
trails, with both flat
and hilly sections, that
circle through a
beautiful wooded area
along the Tennessee
River. These
trails connect to the
Old Railroad Bridge,
which has a boardwalk
above the river, and the
Singing River Bridge,
which has a walking path
that spans the entire
width of the river.
Deibert Park in Florence
has paved paths that
wind gently through the
wide-open, grassy park,
which includes three
small lakes and two
small wooded areas.
Many enjoy the park as a
very safe place to
exercise.
The public park in
Killen has a paved path
that winds along a
relatively flat area
through and around ball
fields and playgrounds.
Martin Park in Florence
offers a paved walking
trail that includes
exercise stations for
those who want to work a
little harder.
Hiking
For those who prefer the
unpaved path, several
places make for a good
hike.
The TVA Reservation has
several wooded trails
that climb along the
banks of the Tennessee
River.
The Cane Creek Nature
Preserve in Colbert
County has stunning
scenery as the paths
wind downhill to Cane
Creek and Sinking Creek,
with beautiful
waterfalls and rocky
bluffs.
The Shoal Creek
Preserve, just north of
Florence, winds gently
through the woods along
the backwaters of Shoal
Creek.
All three of these areas
are open to the public
and do not have any
admission charges.

Top
Boating, Sailing, and
Canoeing
The Shoals area is a
paradise for those who
love to get out on the
water.
The three large lakes of
the Tennessee River
system--Wheeler, Wilson,
and Pickwick--offer wide
open water to sail for
hours, cruise along in
your cruiser or pontoon,
or zip along in your ski
boat or jet ski.
Numerous public boat
launches are available
throughout the Shoals.
For those who want to
ease along through the
bluffs and woods in
their canoe or kayak,
there are a number of
winding creeks,
including Cypress Creek,
Shoal Creek, Bear Creek,
and others, that offer
nature at its best.
