The Anniston Museums and Gardens are working with a consultant and stakeholder team to develop a trail network within their 79.4-acre property to complement its existing educational and recreational uses. The plan will outline how to develop this property with a walking & biking trail network including future connections to the Chief Ladiga Trail and beyond, access points, and other amenities.
Outside of our 20 parks, the McClellan Development Authority also has many awesome attractions in the former Fort McClellan area! See below for details on these exciting outdoor adventures:
The 8-acre freshwater lake and surrounding forested land, which have not been used recreationally since 1999, will now feature a peaceful half-mile walking trail, scenic 17-mile multi-use trail, rustic picnic area and bench seating by the lake.
