Recreation

 
Northwest Alabama offers plenty of recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Lewis Smith Lake is. an Alabama treasure, a 21,200-acre fishing paradise with deep, clear blue water and 500-plus miles of shoreline. The nearby Sipsey Wilderness Area, one of only two such areas in the state, offers hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and horseback riding. It is the third largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi River, covering over 25,000 acres. Close to home, the city's 60-acre Ivan K. Hill Park has four baseball fields, two softball fields, and an Olympic-size swimming pool. One of the biggest events of the year is Mule Day, held on the fourth Saturday of each September. Listed by Travel and Tourism magazine as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast, Mule Day attracts more than 25,000 people each year with its variety of family-friendly activities: a Mule Day Parade, Mule Judging, Car Show, Flea Market, Duck Race, Arts and Crafts, and the Annual Bake-n-Auction. Hands-on activities include soap making, muzzle loading, candle making, a blacksmith shop, storytelling, basket making and more. A recent addition to Mule Day is a Civil War reenactment that includes a living history demonstration and a Civil War Ball.
