Beaver Dam Peninsula is a two-way loop located on the north side of the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The smooth, easy loop goes around the peninsula with wetlands surrounding the trail. There is also an observation tower near the trailhead for nature lovers to utilize!

Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge is a 35,000-acre wildlife refuge located along the Tennessee River near Decatur, Alabama. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service manages the refuge, established in 1938 to provide a habitat for migrating and wintering birds.

It is essential to stay on the trail or risk losing access to this beautiful area. This trail is closed to motorized vehicles between October 14 and February 10 every winter.
