October and November Activities

Southeastern Outings Leisurely Weekday Hike
Where: Lakeshore Trail, Western Extension
.png)
Details: Please come with
Southeastern Outings on our first hike on this new trail.
Take a stroll beside a serene Shades Creek. Unlike the older part of the Lakeshore Trail which runs right
along the side of a major highway, Lakeshore Drive,
this new
section of the trail is secluded with no road or traffic beside it at all. It is very scenic, running right beside
Shades Creek for its entire length.
The new section goes from Columbiana
Road to the new Trailhead just west of Wildwood Shopping across from John
Carroll High School campus. The creek in Phase 2 undulates through the
landscape and offers many attractive vistas of the creek from the trail. The
way the landscape presents itself, it is hard to believe the trail is in the
middle of a metropolitan area. A detention pond, part of the Wildwood Development,
is an attractive amenity along the way.
Homewood Mayor Patrick McClusky summed up why this trail matters.
“Homewood
is so excited about the new 1.4-mile pedestrian extension of the Greenway
Trail. This addition allows more accessibility and further distance to our
citizens and brings a trailhead to connect with another neighboring city. Homewood continues to promote pedestrian
friendly options, and the Greenway Phase II is just another shining example of
why our city is at the forefront of this focus.”
We will hike a total of 2.8 miles round
trip on the trail from the Lakeshore Trail Western Extension parking lot to
Columbiana Road and back.
Please meet at 10:00 at the Lakeshore
Trail Western Extension parking lot. We
plan to depart from there at 10:15 a.m.

site near the Bibb County line in western Shelby County. Please come with

Cahaba River Park includes two sectors: a larger sector on

allows for motorized access.
The river splits the park into two sites with different amenities. The
north side, which is called the Helena/Hoover Sector, includes most of the
park’s acreage. The sector comprises 1,212 acres of Forever Wild property and
127 acres of county property. The south side of the river, which is called the
Boothton/Montevallo Sector, comprises 188 acres of Shelby County property.
Cahaba River Park is a Shelby County venture that is being developed in
conjunction with Forever Wild Land Trust, an initiative of the Alabama
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
Improvements to Shelby County 251, or River Road on the north side of the
Cahaba River, are now complete. The Park offers about 15 miles of
professionally designed and constructed trails for mountain biking, hiking and
trail running; multiple parking locations at trailheads; several canoe launch
sites that will allow for short trips or runs as long as 7 miles; 2 sets of
pavilions and restroom facilities; and a caretaker’s house for a law
enforcement officer.
Our hike in the
Helena/Hoover Sector on October 19 will include walking on several trails. The park’s trails offer a nice blend of
forest, river and creek views including a good view of the area’s elevation.

Southeastern Outings Weekday hike
Where: Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve, Springfield, Alabama
Details: This will be Southeastern Outings’
second ever hike in this new nature preserve.
The property is located along a beautiful, tree-canopied section of St.
Clair County Highway 9 within the city limits of Springville in north St. Clair
County. The property encompasses hilly, forested terrain and aquatic riparian
habitat in and near Big Canoe Creek.
Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve consists of 422 acres of pristine
meandering creek, lush forest, one-of-a-kind species, wildlife, stunning flora
and trails of all kinds to be traveled.
Trails traverse this Alabama Forever Wild property in Springville,
perfect for hiking, horseback riding, bird watching and mountain biking,
paddling and a variety of other outdoor activities.
The Forever Wild Land Trust
believes that this property presents a unique opportunity to serve as a focal
point of sustainable regional economic and social activity while simultaneously
helping to protect some of Alabama’s impressive aquatic biodiversity for
generations to come. Experience the
Preserve’s biodiversity – from mountain laurel and native azalea to beech, red
and sugar maple trees. Find hornbeams, black walnut, catalpa, butternut and
bigleaf magnolia trees and perhaps, stands of river cane.
The northern border spans about
2/3 mile of Big Canoe Creek, providing abundant creekside scenery and wildlife
habitat. High points on the property afford views of the uppermost section of
the Big Canoe Creek watershed, including beautiful, rural Canoe Creek Valley
and the opposing ridges of Pine and Blount Mountains.
Take in the spectacular views of
ridges, mountains and valley, or spot a rare bird soaring above.
Each sunrise seems to reveal a new perspective on nature’s many gifts
found beneath the canopy’s trees or along the banks of this stunning creek that
runs for 50 miles. And each sunset beckons visitors to savor the memories of
the sights, sounds and the enveloping feeling of it all. It is a true gift of nature for us all to
enjoy, to experience and to be inspired.
The hike will be relatively
easy. We will be hiking on the Slab
Creek Trail. Total hike distance is
about 2.6 miles.

Southeastern Outings Dayhike
Where: Corral Shelter and Pebble Bluff Native American
Shelters in the Bankhead National Forest
Details: Moderate
hikes to several spectacular sites in the Bankhead National Forest. First, we’ll hike to the Corral Shelter.
This is a large rock overhang which long ago served as a free barn to the owner
of a stagecoach transportation owner.
He fenced off the entrance to the shelter and then put his horses and
the stagecoach in the shelter each night after they had pulled the stagecoach
on its various routes for the day.
Thus, they were always out of the rain overnight. This shelter is fascinating to view and
contemplate how it was once so very cleverly utilized.
Then we’ll
hike from there to view two of the Pebble Area Bluff Shelters. These are huge overhangs where Native
Americans once lived and assembled for ceremonies and protection from the
elements. These shelters also served as
a place where Native Americans hid out from the white men who were rounding up Native Americans to force them to
walk on the Trail of Tears from Alabama to Oklahoma. Each shelter should have a waterfall drifting off the cliff at
the top. The beauty of each of these
areas is breathtaking. This is a trip
to not be missed!
Please
bring picnic lunch and water.
Well-behaved children age ten and over able to walk over rugged terrain
welcome. Optional dinner after.
Please meet at 8:15 a.m. at the Floor and Décor Store parking lot, 230
