Flying Creek Nature Preserve — Attraction in Contiguous United States

Some of the trail signs are oriented the wrong way. I noticed one here at this intersection. Some intersections they’re oriented the same way street signs are and others. They are rotated. 90° to that orientation so it’s confusing. Instead of intersecting road signs that don’t have a consistent orientation it would be easier if there was just a sign about 5 feet down the road after you turned telling you what trail you were on if you kept walking that direction.

Other than that, it’s really nice to finally have something like this around Fairhope when there’s really been nothing in the category of Woodland trails to go hiking on. The only downside is being surrounded in a triangle by three busy roads and hearing more car noise than...

There are also pet waste stations throughout the trail to help keep things clean. Highlights include a Creekside Classroom, a covered pavilion with gorgeous wooden tables, and clean bathrooms. A great spot for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors without...
