Moss Rock Preserve - - Hoover, Alabama - Waterfalls, Boulders, Natural Bridge, Mavic 3

A perfect balance of nature and community, Moss Rock Preserve is a beautiful 349 acre nature preserve abundant with forest systems, large rock outcroppings, streams, waterfalls, wildlife, and other unique natural features. Currently, Moss Rock Preserve is home to six rare species of plants and a rare variant of Little River Canyon Sandstone Glade that is thought to be one of only 35 occurrences known around the world!

Nearly 12 miles of hiking trails exist within the boundaries of Moss Rock Preserve. These trails allow visitors to witness the beauty of Moss Rock up close and personal. There are many waterfalls and cascades at Moss Rock Preserve.

Another unique area at Moss Rock Preserve is its magnificent boulder field. Traces of prehistoric Native Americans have been found here and a natural rock shelter in the field was used as a campsite for ancient hunters. The availability of game, plant life and fresh water was obviously a factor in
their use of the shelter.

Other features of the park include a massive rock formation called the "Great Wall," Tugboat Rock, Window Rock, Turtle Rock and a Natural Bridge. Some of these massive rocks are more than two-stories tall.

The City of Hoover is fortunate that these and other natural features exist in Moss Rock. As such, Moss Rock Preserve has been dedicated as a nature preserve in order to insure its long-term health and sustainability.
