The Conecuh Trail is located south of Andalusia, Alabama,
and is actually a network of hiking trails that wind throughout the
Conecuh National Forest, which links it to Florida. Conecuh forest is
worth a visit whether one plans to hike or not, rife as it is with moss-garlanded
Cyprus trees, rare natural ponds and many endangered creatures. With
its diverse ecology, Conecuh National Forest is a fine place indeed
for some top quality Alabama hiking.
The South Loop of the Conecuh Trail begins at Open Pond and makes roughly
7-mile circuit through the wooded hills, past wildflower dotted meadows
and copses of pine, until it reaches the big and fast 5 Runs Creek.
The South Loop, like most Alabama hiking trails, is quite easy, but
it does get a little more strenuous from 5 Runs Creek to Alligator Hole
(where you’re more likely to see a turtle than and Alligator).
