Alford Springs has two loop trails. The Mother Loop is not open in the winter but is a beautiful, trail for a summer hike. Although the trail is heavily wooded, the land was cleared for farming in the 19th century and cellar holes and an orchard remain. This easy trail includes some short climbs to vistas across the Alford Valley to Tom Ball Mountain.
