Trail Running

Hurricane Creek Park has approximately 8 miles of trail including “out & back” sections. There are many natural & man-made obstacles plus a steep entry & exit which make the ride a fun & challenging experience. Platform pedals are suggested as well as helmets & other protective gear. Due to the natural existing terrain the trails should be considered very technical with a high difficulty rating. Come check out our  mountain bike race course,this is where most all the Free Ride/wooden features are located. Autumn & winter are perfect times of the year to get a fun workout in crisp & cool conditions.

Hurricane Creek Park is a 67+ acre natural area, nestled in a 500 foot deep canyon in the foothills of the Appalacian Mountains. The park was founded in 1961 by William "Buddy" Rogers. He ran the park as a day-hike/picnic area for forty years. In 2003 he donated his beloved park to the State of Alabama Wildlife & Fisheries.

The City of Cullman Parks & Recreation now has the responsibility of operating the property. There is something here for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. The park features several waterfalls that are rain fed and run about eight months out of the year. There are many unusual rock formations, and beautiful scenic views. We have several miles of established hiking trails.

In addition to hiking, visitors can picnic beside the creek under the covered pavillion or at individual tables in the same vicinity. We are building mountain bike trails that are currently being detailed and finished, we are forging ahead with expansion on a daily basis. Check out our MTB Freeride Elements

Rock climbing is also offered to the seasoned climber. Or you may opt for our "My First TIme Rock Climbing" program which is offered every Saturday morning. This program is great for birthday parties, family get-togethers, activity dates, etc.  Hurricane Creek Park has been added as a stop on the North Alabama Birding Trail and is host to many species of birds.

The park is open year-round!
Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00am till 5:00pm.
Sunday 1:00pm till 5:00pm.
The park is closed on Mondays.
