(Easy / Around 1 hour / 1.5 miles) This hike takes you along some of the more popular trails at our Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve. The trail is relatively easy, with the first part of the walk on the Driskell Trail around our pine forest and disc golf course, and the second part through a beautiful hardwood stand on the Chasco Trail. There are very few hills to walk up, and none of them long or high. This isn’t the strangest of trails, but it is a really nice walk!
Location: Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve – 1263 U.S Hwy 72 East, Huntsville, AL 35811
Directions: Coming from Huntsville, cross Chapman Mountain on Hwy 72 (I-565 turns into Hwy 72) and u-turn at Moores Mill Road to go back up the hill. When safe, get into the merge lane on the right (plenty of time). When the silver guard rail ends, be ready to turn right onto the paved entrance. (Really! It’s just past the end of the guard rail!) Drive through the gate and down the gravel road to the parking area at the bottom of the hill.
If you use a map app to get there, most people have more luck searching for “Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve” rather than the address.
In the event that this hike must be canceled due to weather or trail conditions, an email will be sent to the address you use to register.
