Green Mountain Preserve and Buzzard Falls

Park at the Land Trust of North Alabama's Green Mountain Nature Preserve parking lot on S. Shawdee Road. Follow the pink ribbon marking the Alum Hollow Trail, keeping left at each intersection. At about one mile, you'll go down into the hollow, and Alum Cave will be on your left. Cross the creek below the water fall on your right and follow the flags on to the bluff on Oak Bluff Trail. Continue to follow the flags and trail signs until you reach the Buzzard Falls loop. Follow that loop and make your way back along the way you came or take the dirt road back to the bluff. Go back across the creek and up to the other side. For extra miles, take the unnamed side trails marked by blue or orange ribbon for an extra 1/2 mile and mile respectively.

The property has a prehistoric Native American camp, as well as Alum Cave, a rock shelter that was used during the Middle Woodland period (1AD - 500AD).
