About

Training Dike Park is a day-use recreation facility located on Millers Ferry near Camden, Alabama, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Alabama River Lakes system. The park is designed primarily for day visitors and group gatherings rather than overnight camping. The main feature of Training Dike Park is a rentable group shelter equipped with electricity, making it ideal for family reunions, picnics, and community events. The park also includes a playground for children, picnic areas, and open sports fields for recreational activities. All facilities are designed for day use only, and the park operates with a 7:00 p.m. closing time. Visitors must park in designated areas and are expected to clean up and vacate by closing time. The park is part of the larger Alabama River Lakes recreation system, which provides access to the Dannelly Reservoir. While Training Dike Park itself focuses on day-use activities, the surrounding area offers opportunities for fishing, boating, and exploring the Black Prairie Belt region of Alabama. The facility is managed by the Alabama River Lakes project office and operates under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations.
