Mt. Doom's Haunted Woodlands

Mt. Doom has over 200 acres of woodlands that have not been cut in nearly a century.  We play paintball on a small part of the property on weekends and you can join in!  However, 90% of the area is totally virgin timberland and you could walk all day without seeing another living soul.  Lots of trails and roadways to hike and views off the mountains at every turn.  Less than 1.5 mi. from Mulberry River with whitewater rapids or swimming access.  Some say spirits roam these woods but not in a malevolent way, just strange noises, sudden winds and leaves moving or the feeling of being watched.  Awesome view of the constellations far from ground light clutter and an eerie quietness prevails.  Crows will follow your movements and talk about you right to your face!  An unforgettable destination stop that you will mark on your map for every visit you take to Alabama.Learn more about this land:Over 200 acres of undeveloped southern woodlands surrounded by corporate owned timber lands that are fully accessible for hiking or mountain biking.  Campsite overlooks 20 miles of unobstructed view from a grassy point on the last mountains in the Appalachian Mountain chains.  Very isolated and quiet with good view of constellations at night.  Miles of woodland roadways and trails where you won't see another person but might catch a glimpse of any number of southern woodland creatures.  A little noisy on weekends as we operate a paintball/airsoft field on part of the property, but otherwise you'd be the only people in the woods for miles around.  Paintball "extra" available if you'd like to try a survival game while you are here!

The woods here are said to be haunted but not in a malevolent way.  Strange sounds in the woods, sudden winds, leaf movements, crows that follow your movements and buzzards will circle you.  The woods can be creepy but in a fun way.  

If you ever watch the Steven King movie, The Mist... well that is what you are seeing here.  Strange occurrences seem to creep this way when those foggy plumes appear on the horizon.  I have a waiver you may need to sign when you arrive.... just sayin!

Turkey buzzards and black crows will welcome you here and circle your campsite.  You may pet them as they are super friendly but watch your fingers.

Paintball and airsoft sports are played here on weekends so it may be a little noisy during the day.  Your party would be welcome to join in! I can set up a private game for you anytime of the week, even at night! Call 256-339-1601 to schedule a private game

Owners home (red roof) is the only house around so isolation and privacy is nice.  Lots of trails and roadways allow hiking to moderate stress levels but some are super easy as well.  Maps are provided upon request by owner.

Pair of well trained German Shepherd Dogs will extend their protection to you and your pets while here.  If something is in the woods they will know it and let you know also.  They will probably choose NOT to investigate strange sounds back in the woods.


Deep southern woodlands surround you.  These timberlands have not been cut in nearly a century so big native species trees are all around you. 

Vultures frequent the mountaintops looking for decaying flesh.  They leave behind cleanly picked white bones that you may  feel free to take home with you.


Mt. Doom property is surrounded by thousands of acres of corporate timberland and you'd have permission  to hike their lands and mine freely except during hunting season.

This is Sky. The pound gave her that name because of her blue eye. She is not blind. She'll greet you upon arrival and probably check on you throughout your stay.
