Crane Hill is located next to the spectacular Smith Lake in northern Alabama, which means that you'll have ample opportunity to relax by the water. This spot is ideal for fishing, swimming, and boating - as well as picnicking on the banks. A mere half hour's drive from Cullman, you can easily head into town for any shopping you might want to do, as well as to try out some of the delicious local food. Crane Hill is also close to the Bankhead National Forest. This stunning forest is filled with magical waterfalls, dramatic bluffs, and sparkling streams, as well as numerous ancient petroglyphs, rock carvings, and ancient drawings from early Native American civilizations.
