Land Trust Trails are open one hour before sunrise and close one hour after sunset. Among the many acres of land entrusted to the care of the Land Trust you will find large tracts dedicated to recreational use. Please take time to visit our various public properties and four Nature Preserves (three of which are each larger than Central Park and are within Huntsville city limits) to experience the unique trails and treasures they provide.
