Kymulga Grist Mill Park — Attraction in Alabama

Update:We finally were able to go back in late fall and camp for the weekend with a group of friends. Camping was great and for the most part level. They do have hookups but we decided to boondock. Our group leader rented the pavilion for an early Christmas dinner and it was very nice on the inside. Plenty of tables and electrical outlets for crock pots. It has a nice deck to look out over the water as well. The cost for boondocking is either $10 or $15 per night. Another review said no dump but there actually is a dump for your camper. You just need to ask the location because it can be easy to miss if leaves are on the ground. There is also a water spigot if you need water, again ask location. Lots of trails to walk around on, just be careful of the geese, they will charge you. Ask my husband how he knows. LoL

The mill itself is active and a piece of our history. The covered bridge is worth stopping to see just on its own. You can stand on the bridge and just imagine all the history there, plus I've heard it may be haunted. Might have to check it out at night on our next trip with a voice recorder and some pics. 😉

Very pretty place to spend a day fishing, kayaking or camping for a weekend. They have nice bathrooms with an included shower if you are camping. You can get tours of the old grist Mill as well. Look forward to going back in the future...

This is a great place to take a day trip! Visit the little store and speak with the gentleman there and get a tour of the Grist Mill it is the only original operational mill around. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Mill and the property. You can look around at all the moving parts of the old mill that is still operational. They have stone ground grits and cornmeal for sale as well as honey from their bee colony there on site. There are a few other souvenir type things there in the store to purchase as well. Lots of things to do on the property. There are hiking trails, you can fish, rent a canoe, have a picnic. Also make sure to check out the Kymulga Covered Bridge while ur on site, it is the only original covered bridge still in the same place it was built...

05/22/2021, step back into history at Kymulga Grist Mill, Childersburg, Alabama. A grist mill that has been in operation since 1864, with the original equipment. Kymulga Mill continues to operate to this day, making corn meal with its huge millstones. A 161 year-old covered bridge still intact, still useable, campground, picnic area, and a very nice souvenir shop next to the mill. Don't remember the name of the lady who runs the souvenir shop, but she was very nice, and very knowledgeable about the history of the mill. Our guide shared the history of the mill and of how it was like for workers at the mill in the 19th century. Highly recommend a trip to this place. God bless! Mark...
