My first visit to Florence Alabama. I love taking night photos, and the hotel staff recommended two places, McFarland Park and the Dam. McFarland Park has a privately owned area and public areas. It is located on the banks of the Tennessee River and this is a boat ramp, harbor and lovely floating restaurant. There is plenty of lit parking at night and room to roam and play. The park is very clean, nice place for a picnic.

I love this park. There are so many different things here for everyone. There is a beach, picnic tables, a paved walking path, pavilions for parties, there is primitive and rv camping, they have a lighthouse, porch type swings and benches, a marina with open and covered boat slips for boats of all sizes, there is a playground for kids, they have a nice restaurant on the water in the center of the marina and even fuel for boats and so much more...

A beautiful park and marina on the Tennessee River. There are lots of open pace riverside for picnicking and activities. A good spot for fishing, too. The park is kept clean and safe. There are a few shelters that can be reserved for events.

First time here! Was here for a school fishing tournament. They had different boat ramps which made it much easier for getting out of the water. The bathrooms was clean!

Beautiful park. I've been going here since I was a child. It holds lots of special memories. My husband and I like to have little picnic dates here. It's so peaceful sitting by the water and watching the scenery.
