Cahaba River Walk Park — Attraction in Mountain Brook

This was a nice, peaceful river park that encompassed a dog park, picnic tables, a 1/4 mile walking trail, and river access. There are also trash cans placed all around the park that makes it easy to dispose of your trash after a picnic. While there is river front, the portion that we went to isn’t the MOST accessible for small children. The portion that we explored was below the dog park. If you walk down the stairs to the river and then turn left and walk towards the bridge, there was a section of rock where our toddler was able to walk around and dip her toes in the water.

I'm a rock and tree lover and I found quite a few here. It's not a large park, you'll need to make a few laps for a mile. But, it is worth going just for the...

I am so glad Mountain Brooke decided to create this area! The cultural mix is amazing. Poor to high income families all use this area, while being kept safe by the Mountain Brooke PD & FD. Also the trash is cleaned up every couple of days. There are areas dedicated to having a picnic or just having a stroll by the river. Dog stations are provided and there is also access to the Piggly Wiggly for food and drink. They have provided stairs to the river, which is very rare for a park by the water. Amazing place! I spend every...
