Lovely park! This location has multiple trails which are marked for distance to make exercise easy. The view is wonderful. Plus, there are some great historical makers that tell you a lot about the area. Parking is easy and there is a fenced playground for kids. The pavilions over the water are my favorite.

Choccolocco Park Oxford, Alabama

Muscogee Indian territory for most of history. The grounds here were held in high regard and used for ceremonial and living purposes.

Perfect setting for that afternoon walk your mind and body desire. The concrete pathway circles the lake and provides for a low impact easy walk encompassing a distance of 1.8 miles.

Come here at dawn to walk and watch the sunset... serene, calming and relaxing... this walk was perfect, the ideal summer excursion. Bring a snack or two, parking is ample... and the park and trail are easily accessible, the information boards line the pathway and provide informative historical information.

Most interesting of all is the 'Earthen Mound' used by the Muscogee for ceremonial purposes... captivating and ancient this site was an important community gathering place.

This area of land at Choccolocco Park is a historically significant site... It was inhabited for thousands of years before the presence of Eastern Europeans. This is Native American land and territory. You can feel this important relationship to the past in the Parks pathways. The environment the setting of the sun and the air around you all reflect a Native peoples presence.

I was very impressed with this park. The setting around me could not be more perfect. Choccolocco Park is a must visit site for it's historical value. And the sunsets at dawn are beautiful and inspiring. Give yourself time to reflect and find that inner calm the environment dictates. I felt re-invigorated after my walk through Choccolocco, time spent I wouldn't take for granted. The park was well worth my visit.

First time visiting. Very nice paved walking trails. Clean too, no litter. The large paved walking trail was great. Plenty of benches to sit for a bit while walking around the lake. Play ground was very well maintained as well. I noticed they are doing Christmas lights and ice skating on a synthetic rink. Interesting. And two large covered docks. Plenty of parking too.

A beautiful place to view our mountains and the lakes, catch a ball game, hike, work out and more. Climb the indigenous burial mound late evening to catch the sunset.
