The arrival of fall is a great time for outdoor photography. For those who want to capture photos of beautiful the season change, Oak Mountain State Park will be hosting a Seasonal Photography Walk on November 14. 

Emily Cook, the park’s naturalist, will lead a hike similar to the ones in the spring and summer. Meeting at the park office at 9 a.m., where Cook will take participants on a one to two hour walk through the park. The exact location will be determined that morning, but participants are sure to get some great shots.

Oak Mountain is Alabama’s largest park, sitting on 9,940 acres in Shelby County. There is so much to see and do just a short drive away. 

Nature walks can be a chance to refresh the mind and spirit, learn about wildlife and avoid distractions. They’re also a great form of exercise. 

“The walk is for anyone who wants to come, and will be family friendly,” Cook said. “Bring a camera with a fully charged battery and dress for the weather.”

Although she can’t predict what will be seen on the hike, it could be anything from small mushrooms to deer. It will also depend on which trail is chosen, the weather and the noise level. 

“The walk will be on a gently rolling trail and accessible for strollers,” Cook said. 

Park admission is $4 for ages 12 and over, $1 for children 6 to 11 and seniors (62+) and free for ages five and under. Admission is good for the day, and the park is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
