The real attraction of Oak Mountain, however, is the incredible scenery so close to a major metropolitan area. The mountaintop picnic area provides a place for family outings with incomparable views. During the autumn leaf change, the hills and valleys come to life with displays of gold and red. The road up to the top becomes a tunnel of color and the picnic area turns into a place of incomparable beauty.
Visitors to the park also love Peavine Falls. Part of a 65-foot cascade, the waterfall is reached via the Green or Peavine Falls Trail. The staff at the park entrance station can update you on how well the waterfall is flowing before you make the hike. Like many Southern waterfalls, it usually flows best in the winter and early spring.
