The Conecuh National Forest in southern Alabama covers 82,883 acres. This forest has two developed camping and picnicking areas and allows primitive camping with a permit throughout the forest except during deer hunting season.
Hikers enjoy 20 miles of trails and anglers may fish in Brooks Hines Lake. A shooting range is open to the public at no charge. The Blue Pond recreation site off AL 137 offers picnicking, fishing, swimming and hiking trails. Visitors can camp, picnic, fish and hike at the Open Pond site. Only electric motors are permitted in both ponds. About 100 cattle graze in the Conecuh under the forest's multi-use policy.
