Directions: From the Wilson Dam Visitor Center (see directions Site 6), take Reservation Road west for 2.2 miles. Turn right (north) at the TVA Nature Trails sign.
Description: The TVA Reservation hosts a number of walking trails that meander through woodland, fields, and along the Tennessee River. This is one of the few reliable areas in northern Alabama for Swainson's Warblers, which nest near the end of the 2.6 mile bicycle/jogging trail. Other species to look and listen for in summer include Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Acadian Flycatcher, and Wood Thrush. Follow the trail to the reservoir, and in the winter, look for Pied-billed and Horned grebes alongside Buffleheads, and Common Goldeneye.
