The Boy Scout Trail at Turkey Creek Nature Preserve in Pinson, Alabama is an easy 0.6-mile out-and-back trail that runs along Turkey Creek and features short, but scenic waterfalls.
The trail is mostly flat and has some small elevation gain and loss, but is an easy hike. At the western terminus, the trail does not connect back to Turkey Creek Road or any other trail, so you'll hike back another 0.3-miles to the trailhead for a 0.6-mile trek. Please note that this mileage does not include the walk from parking to the trailhead.
Waterfall: There are small waterfalls in Turkey Creek - no larger than a few feet tall.
Parking: Parking can be found along Turkey Creek Road at the main parking lot. You'll need to hike down Turkey Creek Road to reach the trailhead.
Pets: Dogs are allowed only on leash and their waste must be carried out.
Water source: If you carry a water filter, you can refill in Turkey Creek.
Biking: Biking is not allowed on this trail.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
