Located just 20 minutes from the Bama Bed and Breakfast Lakeside location, Hurricane Creek is a great place to visit for the outdoor enthusiasts.
The creek has earned a reputation among outdoors enthusiasts for its natural beauty. It has been a prime recreational draw for at least a century and a half, hosting church baptisms, fishing trips, family picnics, overnight rafting parties, and swimmers.
The waterway often produces a a roaring sound like a hurricane as it rushes over it's rocky bed. It's banks are bordered by a wide variety of trees - including birch, beech, oak, poplars, and others that form a tall canopy. During autumn and spring, wildflowers appear along the creek banks and in mid to late summer, cardinal flowers make an impressive display. Wildlife at the creek includes deer, rabbits, snakes, groundhogs, woodpeckers, great blue herons, eagles, various fish and waterfowl, and the Alabama state bird, the brightly colored woodpecker known as the yellowhammer.
Hurricane Creek is a great place for hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking, and more. Be sure and ask our resident creek "expert", Kristina, for tips!
