Sportsman Lake
Park:
Sportsman Lake Park is a
scenic destination that has a little
something for everyone regardless
of age. Located around a large
shallow body of water teeming
with fish and wildlife in downtown
Cullman, it is the perfect place for
family gatherings at picnic tables,
pavilions and RV or tent camping.
A fan favorite is the small-scale
train wrapping around the lake.
Kids of all ages will enjoy it and
the 18-hole Putt-Putt golf course.
Riding paddle boats, feeding
the fish, riding a bike, hiking, or
working out on fitness equipment
at various locations are all part of
what you can find at the park.
During Christmas there is a
beautiful Winter Wonderland
around the lake with lights and a
various amount of decorations.
“It’s one of my favorite places to
go during the year,” said Sharon
Burroughs.
If it’s warm out, the kids or
grandkids can beat the heat at the
new Splash Pad. Free to all visitors,
this project was made possible by
a Land and Water Conservation
Fund Grant with ADECA and
a CCCDC grant written and
managed by Cullman County
Economic Development along
with generous donations from
Cullman Chrysler-Dodge Jeep,
Walmart, Rusken/Ruscorr, and
Pepsi.
Clarkson Covered
Bridge:
One of Cullman’s most wellknown
attractions and historically
rich sites, Clarkson Covered
Bridge, originally built in 1904,
was once used regularly by
farmers and travelers to cross
Crooked Creek. The weatherworn
bridge is now closed to traffic and
is the centerpiece of a park built
in period fashion to showcase
the bridge and its historical
significance. The bridge was torn
in two, in 1931, by a huge storm.
One piece was left intact, the
other swept down-stream and
soon salvaged.
