Turkey Creek Nature Preserve, Alabama, United States
4.5 (45 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Pinson Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nice and Relaxing
Beautiful place. Had the rushing waters. Reminds me of the streams along Gatlinburg TN. Has benches to sit and enjoy the views. People swim and play in the water.

Back to Nature!
My hat is off to the folks in charge of this great little get away! I have lived in the Pinson area for 50 years and I can say from first hand experience, this place has never looked so nice. The walking trails are great! Catch it early on a fall morning and enjoy the sounds of waterfalls and woodpeckers while the sun begins to climb the hills of Mt. Pinson. A little history for you younger folks, and for those who may wonder where in the world I came up with my name? Before this area was know as Pinson, AL, it was actually known as "Bullfrog Bend" that's right folks! Now get out to "Bullfrog Bend" and walk the banks of Turkey Creek along the bends of "slick rock" and enjoy a little piece of heaven in my town!

Fun Place....
This is a nice place, and I have been coming here since I was a very young boy. It is great that it has been made a "Forever Wild" site. The improvements are many and much needed. There are a few issues that should be addressed however. For those of you out there that have little concept of respect for nature there is this, TAKE YOUR GARBAGE WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE!!!! Next, those of you who feel the need to bring your dog, KEEP THEM OUT OF THE WATER!!!!, it is a SANITARY thing and this is not a 3rd world country. Last but not least, if your kids are in diapers PLEASE ensure they are SWIM DIAPERS!!!! I had an idea come to me; broken glass containment boxes. If everyone helped to pickup the broken glass, bit by bit, one day it might all be gone. The glass could then be melted down by an art student at BSC and made into "Turkey Creek" souvenirs to be sold or auctioned to raise money for the preserve in order to fund other improvements. I hope that it gets more funding because this is a true gem and if Ruffner Mtn. gets money to build buildings and paved parking why not Turkey Creek?
