Columbia

Once a major trading center, this Houston County town is small but mighty. Columbia, Alabama, is home to outdoor activities galore, from hunting and fishing to water sports, motorsports, and camping. Omussee Creek Park on the Chattahoochee River is a treasured local hot spot populated by nature trails, boat ramps, picnic areas, campgrounds, two softball fields, and a volleyball court. Make sure to check out the many farmers' markets throughout the summer months.
