5. Oak Mountain State Park

This last mountain on the Appalachian chain sports a golf course, lake, mountain biking trail, horses, and miles of great hikes both long and short. Cabin rentals and campsites are available. (from Southern Living)

Centerpiece of Alabama's largest state park, Oak Mountain is one of the southern-most peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, and it’s a terrific place to get back to nature and escape the city. The park's near 10,000 acres include a golf course, mountain bike and hiking trails, rental cabins, primitive and modern campsites, and horseback riding facilities. Located approximately 21 miles south of Birmingham off I-65.   (© 10Best)
