Alexander City, Alabama

Alexander City is a bustling community conveniently located in east central Alabama. It is the focal point for people whose routes include Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Columbus, Georgia. This is why the city, which prides itself in being called the “South’s Best Kept Secret,” has invested in various tourist attractions.

There are five golf courses, as well as fishing and boating centers that are centered on Lake Martin. Near the lake, the family can visit the 1400-acre Wind Creek State Park, one of Alabama’s largest camping sites with 635 campsites. There is a huge shopping area in downtown Alex City, where the travelers can also find the Charles E. Bailey, Sr. Sportplex. It is a sports complex where residents and visitors can play softball, baseball, football, soccer, archery, and enjoy horseback riding.

For those who are fascinated with history, then Alexander City is a great vacation destination to check out antique fire trucks, the Big Kowaliga Basin, the Martin Dam built in 1923, and the Horseshoe Bend Military Park. For adventurers who like rock climbing, there is the Chimney Rock, waiting to be conquered. But if visiting the Alexander City vacation is a family affair, then the family should not miss the Children’s Harbor. It is on Kowaliga Bridge, just off Highway 63. With various fun artistic activities, such as “art on the lake” and “tour of homes,” this facility aims to “strengthen the children and their families.”
