Cosby Lake Park

Me and my best boi come here for walks as often as possible. Wonderful park with lots to see for animal lovers.

It's super quiet & peaceful. Great for clearing your mind. Personally, I like to grab a picnic table & enjoy the scenery or take a leisurely stroll around the lake. There is plenty of parking, clean public restrooms & that about sums it up.

Always an enjoyable time around the lake aside from the people who bring off leash dogs or don't pick up after their dogs and the excessive geese by the parking lot. We love walking there, hunting painted rocks with our kid, and have even enjoyed fishing and kayaking.

This place was so pretty! I absolutely loved the geese and ducks, I'm worried about them because they're so friendly and will come right up to you

Beautiful place to walk and have a picnic. Catch and release fishing only. The bathrooms are locked up and shutdown due to people setting fires in them

Nice place near Birmingham or a hidden treasure if I may say more eloquently. There are hikes, fishes (not for fishing) and picnic area. There are several swings for the adults. So if you are interested you know the place! There are small waterfalls and most importantly itz pretty quiet for a city of Birmingham. We went in the nearby area for a moon sighting once. The park is officially closed at night. But who can stop you gazing upon the moon near lake which is very closed to the road.One more thing, the goose! There is a large population of goose in the park. They roam the shallow water, tries to catch the little fishes. If you somehow manages to see the place during fall color or during the sunset I envy you. They are quite majestic to look at in my humble opinion. I have never seen in crime or illegal activities in these area. I assume the area is very safe anytime you visit. To conclude, I would describe the place calm, nice and quiet.

Love walking here. People are so nice and friendly. Many trails to walk. Bring your dog! Remember to pick up after them!

Very nice park for a easy walk with a trail around the lake also the trail connects to the near by neighborhood . Turtles are plentiful throughout the lake I spotted some enjoying the sunshine on the downed tree logs near the bank of the lake.

Nice pace to fisk, hike, NOT FEED THE FOWL! Unless you want too! They love it!

It's a great place to walk with small children - they love the bridges! The wide paths of fine gravel are well maintained. There are peaceful sections through the woods and beautiful views of Cosby Lake.

My new favorite place to walk. I used to go turkey creek nature preserve but it’s just too crowded these days. This is a very peaceful, laid-back location to walk the dog or take the kids, or fish. Too much goose poop though.

We love it!!! I teach K3 and K4 classes and it is a great way to learn about the world we live in!! I think I love it a little more because they are learning and still having fun!!!

I have not been there for 1 years but I want to go so bad but I loved feeding the ducks another part I liked was the bright

Wonderful, generally peaceful setting. Some things to note:
- Recent vandalism took out the swings.
- Do NOT feed the geese or ducks. It makes them very aggressive to other visitors.
- Keep your animals leashed at all times. They can frighten small children and be dangerous to the elderly or infirm even while being friendly.
- Fishing is now allowed, with posted restrictions.
- Help keep this a beautiful and safe park!

Absolutely breathtaking view. Clean restrooms. Great place to relax and journal.

The lake is clearing up very nicely . This is a Glorious place to walk or picnic .

One of my favorite parks to walk around, feed the ducks and clear my mind. Very clean and safe area.

It is a beautiful place I watched the ducks and I was checking it out to see if it was a good place to take a dog. There were quite a few people there with their dogs and I give it a thumbs up. I highly recommend this place.

Great place, dog was just bit by copperhead. Be on the look out!

Cosby Lake Park is a really awesome place to visit. One of the most beautiful places to see in the entire state in my opinion. It was a special trip down memory lane for me because I hadn't been there in over 50 years since I was about 12 years old and I had gone to camp there back when it was still a camp.
