Learning Opportunities at Gulf State Park
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
For visitors to the Alabama Gulf Coast, there is much to learn about local nature - especially at Gulf State Park, where trails, ecosystems and programs provide numerous opportunities to explore and learn about some of Alabama’s most treasured natural assets.
3. The Interpretive Center
Promoting ecotourism in the region, The Interpretive Center serves as the launching point for the 28 miles of trails within the park. It teaches about the variety of ecosystems that support coastal wildlife. The park’s dunes, lakes, marshes and forestry areas provide homes for deer, raccoons, alligators, birds, butterflies and more, so there will always be much to learn. One of only 16 certified Living Buildings in the world, the Alabama Gulf Coast is fortunate to have a facility of this significance at the Gulf State Park.
