Red Mountain Park has trails, historic mines and tree houses
For entertainment, there are a couple of bingo parlors you can check out. Into golf? Reserve a tee time or get a membership at the nearby Woodward Golf & Country Club, and work your way through the beautiful 18-hole course. Become a membership or get a day pass, and tear down the trails at RideBHM, a downhill mountain biking park. There are plenty of trails, for beginner cyclists to expert-only. This includes learning how to jump a mountain bike at any distance. The park is open year-round, rain or shine, but keep in mind that some track might be closed during rainy weather.
If nature is more your vibe, along the nearby Venice Road is an access point to Red Mountain Park, which covers 1,500 acres of land along the Red Mountain Ridge. The land was once the site of the extensive iron ore mining operation that built Birmingham, and it was also the city’s greatest resource until the last mine was closed in the mid-1900s. Today the land serves as an outdoor escape from city-life, featuring 16 miles of wooded trails with two city overlooks, three treehouses high near the treetops and a 6-acre, off-the-leash dog park. The historic mines are still marked, and can be seen along several of the trails. The park is open most days of the year except holidays, though amenities like the treehouses aren’t accessible year-round. You can get a slice of history in Lipscomb, along the rail line between Birmingham and Bessemer.
RideBHM features jump ramps for mountain bikers of all skill levels
Parents and kids enjoy a quiet walk through Red Mountain Park’s scenic trails.
