Lake Lurleen State Park one of the best places in Tuscaloosa for some trail running. Located nine miles northwest of Tuscaloosa, the 1625-acre park features 23 miles of mainly wooded trails. A centerpiece of the park is 250-acre Lake Lurleen. We’d consider this easy to moderate trail running. The footing is generally good and it’s not too hilly. Can be muddy when wet. Note: $4 Admission/parking fee.

This trail map shows the numerous options for longer, shorter, and combo loops. There’s good signage in the park.

The signature run in Tuscaloosa. A 2.2 mile paved path along the Black Warrior River, with nice water views. Highlights include Manderson Landing, Queen City Park, and a loop around the Amphitheater. Good add-ons.
We've mapped a 10k loop to use as a guide for running this large, attractive campus. Pedestrian paths around historic buildings and classic quads, the Bryant-Denny Stadium, and a great running track. Can be combined w/Riverwalk.
A pleasant run on the north side of the Black Warrior River. A paved levee path, also known as the Northport Riverwalk, runs for 2.2 miles. Good add-on to Oliver Lock and Dam, with nice water views.
Combine a run on the 12 miles of trails of the Arboretum with the open, grassy fields of a former golf course. Also adjacent is a ~2 mile perimeter road of the VA hospital and the quiet roads of the Woodland Hills neighborhood.
~11 miles of gravel/dirt trails through a combination of open and wooded terrain in this park located in the Northport part of Tuscaloosa. It's also possible to run on the 1.3 mile park road.
