Brentwood

Bordered by the Tennessee River, Florence, AL offers its residents both a metropolitan yet localized experience. Home to the University of North Alabama, Florence has a vibrant downtown area, outdoor activities, and historic landmarks to enjoy. There is something for everyone in this diverse and growing city.

The Tennessee River makes for some great fishing. From a casual afternoon at a creek to a competitive fly-fishing tournament, the river and creeks will provide you with some of the best fishing around. Historic downtown offers a vibrant, big-city atmosphere, especially on the first Friday of every summer and fall month when local artists and musicians line the streets for an evening of culture and art.

Another hot attraction is McFarland Park, located between the Tennessee River and Downtown Florence. This massive 200-acre park features trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, and sport fields.
