Paul Grist State Park

Park Map

Map of Paul Grist State Park in Alabama showing a network of color-coded trails, park roads, and facilities centered around Paul Grist Lake. The lake runs north–south along the right side of the map, with a dam at the southern end and a boat dock and pavilions along the shoreline.  Trails are marked by color with listed distances: red (3.7 miles), blue (3.4 miles), orange (2.6 miles), purple (1.9 miles), green (1.5 miles), yellow (1.2 miles), and a red/white trail (0.8 miles). Additional routes include entrance road (1.5 miles), YMCA roads (1.5 miles), connectors (0.4 miles), and service roads (0.4 miles). Trails loop and intersect throughout the park, with the largest loops (red and blue) circling outer areas and shorter loops (green, yellow, purple) closer to the center.  Key features labeled near the lake include campground, office/bathhouse, park shop, horse camp, YMCA Camp Grist, pavilions, and parking areas. Bridges, gated access points, a dumpster, and a manager’s home are also marked. A main entrance road enters from the south, connecting to internal park roads. An arrow on the left indicates direction to Oakmulgee Wildlife Management Area.  A legend identifies road types (park road, connectors, service road), and a scale bar shows distances up to 2,000 feet. The map includes a contact phone number and notes it was mapped by Craig Bradley for the Back Country Horsemen of West Alabama, July 2025.
