Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve is open to the public each weekend (Friday – Sunday from 7 AM – 5 PM). Open major holidays, except Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. When you arrive, sign in is required at the visitor support station and sign out as you leave.
This breathtaking 693-acre property southwest of Tuscumbia offers hiking trails created by original owners and caretakers Jim and Faye Lacefield, who donated the property to the Land Trust of North Alabama in February 2023. Cane Creek Canyon’s rolling topography and dramatic falls provide an incredibly diverse ecological area supporting significant biodiversity, cultural history as well as recreational and educational opportunities.
If you are interested in volunteering to assist with visitor outreach and trail maintenance at Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve, please contact Amanda Weisenberger, Volunteer Coordinator, at amanda@landtrustnal.org.
