Last week, we introduced you to Gulf State Park, and talked all about the sharks during Shark Week but there’s so much more to this state park than just the gulf. On this week’s episode of Hiking with Hailey, we’re walking along the shoreline of Lake Shelby.
Located on the coast of Alabama, Gulf State Park has two miles of beach – but that isn’t the only attraction you should give your attention to. There’s also hiking, biking, and plenty of other activities that lure visitors back to the shoreline.
