Set amidst a wooded landscape, Oak Mountain offers visitors numerous facilities and activities, including tennis courts, hiking, biking and horseback trails, picnic areas, and two lakes with many water-related activities. The park’s popular natural attractions include Peavine Falls, a 65-foot cascade over a picturesque rock face, and Shackleford Point, the highest point in the park.
