Overview
Little River State Forest, formerly known as Claude D. Kelley State Park, offers a range of outdoor activities and facilities for visitors. Although hunting is limited, it is known as one of the few "handicap" hunting locations in Alabama, regulated by the Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. Fishing, hiking, and swimming are popular activities, with boat rentals available and a 25-acre lake providing a scenic spot for boating and canoeing year-round.
The park is home to diverse wildlife, including deer, turkey, rabbits, quail, bobcats, foxes, and various bird species, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. The park offers cabin rentals, pavilion reservations, and camping facilities for those who prefer a more rustic experience. Little River State Forest has a rich history, originally established during the Great Depression as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) efforts, with many of its facilities still standing as a testament to the CCC's work.
