Kings River Overlook — Attraction in Huntsville

Semi-rough dirt road to get to the trailhead (we saw a Prius managing just fine). Large parking area (although there was only one other car/hiker there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon). The hike is easy, about a mile and relatively flat. We had to step over a few small creeks/springs because it had just rained a few inches the night before. There are some neat rocky outcrops just off the trail, we found a new cave at the end of one little path! The overlook is spectacular, it gives you a great view of the large oxbow and you will probably see canoers or kayakers down below. There are actually a few overlooks at the end, and you can step right up to the edge (or stay back and enjoy the view from a safer vantage point). The trail was easy to follow, well maintained with no trash whatsoever! I highly recommend it, it's probably one of the less traveled trails in the area but the payoff is...

This is definitely in my top five trails for the area. It is down about 5 miles of dirt road, but the road is really well maintained, and I have always been able to make it in my front wheel drive car without any issues. They recently put up signs directing you to the trailhead that make it much easier to find. Cell service is spotty in the area. The trail is only about .5 mile (one way) and ends on a beautiful overlook of a bend in the King's River. There is also a smaller trail that heads down the hill on your right just past the 3rd water crossing where you can hike down to a waterfall. You just have to be careful-it is not a maintained trail and it is pretty steep. You can cross the creek at the bottom of the hill to get a better view of the falls...

This trail is off the beaten path down some gravel roads. The trail is well marked and an easy walk/hike. It is also very shaded which helped to keep us cool. The views are amazing. We didn’t get to see any Eagles but the hike was worth it anyway. The trail head is well marked and has a gate at the start. We made the mistake and went to one off of the parking area on the opposite side, which is a second trail that is much more steep and harder to navigate but at the end there is a cave at the bottom of the canyon that is really...
