How to get to Oak Mountain State Park
Oak Mountain State Park sits just off Interstate 65 at exit 246 in Pelham, about 20 minutes (15 miles) south of downtown Birmingham and roughly 1.5 hours north of Montgomery. The main park roads are paved and RV-friendly, though interior roads climb steep grades toward ridge overlooks, so drivers of large rigs should use low gears and watch for sharp curves. There are no tunnels or weight-restricted bridges on the primary access route. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM), about 25 miles north of the park.
