What a gorgeous Spring we are having in Birmingham!
Our friends at Freshwater Land Trust have put together a list of "trails less traveled" to help you find new trails to safely explore in Jefferson County.
PLEASE: Always maintain a MINIMUM of 6 feet between you and other people, even if that means stopping and walking off the trail. If a parking lot or trail looks busy, come back another time or visit another trail on the list!
