Hurricane Creek

Hurricane Creek

Photo by Ben Prepelka

Hurricane Creek has carved out a sizable chunk of Alabama's Brindle Mountains. It's hard to believe that today's docile creek was ever up to hurricane strength, let along having the force to slice out this deep gorge. But seeing is believing, and no doubt when conditions are favorable, the creek lives up to its name.
Surrounding the creek are an intricate pattern of trails, making this park a haven for hiking and mountain bikers. A visit to Hurricane Creek Park, just north of Cullman, Alabama, can be made into a day of family fun and exploration as miles of trails pass along the canyon bottoms, giving glimpses of an inviting Hurricane Creek.
