The four National Forests in Alabama encompass approximately 667,000 acres of public land stretching across 17 counties. These national forests dating back to the early 1900’s are administered by a forest supervisor and six district rangers. The forests are managed for multiple use and are home to about 900 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. The four national forests offer a diverse landscape and a variety of recreational experiences throughout the year.
Find your place in one of the four National Forests in Alabama. It may be in developed recreation areas for picnicking, camping, swimming, fishing, boating, or a quiet spot away from everything to enjoy bird watching, hiking, horse-back riding and sightseeing.
