Montevallo Parks Trail

 By: Madison Jones



The City of Montevallo may not be the most well-known city in Alabama. However, our hidden-away city and University brings unconventional experiences and comes with many benefits that students may not even be aware of.

The City of Montevallo’s Parks Trail is one of the many hidden amenities that our city possesses. The trails are both safe and conveniently located. The trails begin at Orr Park with the paved walking circuit and follow along King’s creek, behind the University’s Intramural fields.

The trail continues toward the University Lake and cross a beautiful overflow waterfall. Then the primitive loop passes through the woods and comes out at Stephens Park.

The entire length of the trail is two and a half miles, making it the perfect length for an afternoon outing or a quick run. Crossing bridges, roads, and most of the city is a great way to get in shape or to simple relax for an afternoon stroll.

Maps and pamphlets are available in front of the University of Montevallo Student Activity Center and in front of Carmicheal Library.
