Monte Sano State Park, State park in Huntsville, United States.
Monte Sano State Park spans 2,140 acres atop Monte Sano Mountain, featuring extensive hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and rustic cottages amid natural woodlands.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park facilities in the 1930s, including stone cottages, an amphitheater, and a lodge in Arts and Crafts style.
The Von Braun Astronomical Society maintains a planetarium and observatory in the park, enabling visitors to study celestial objects and astronomical phenomena.
The park provides 89 modern RV campsites, 20 primitive camping spots, and 14 furnished cabins equipped with kitchens, fireplaces, and cable television.
The mountain railway, operating from 1888 to 1896, transported health-seeking visitors to the former Hotel Monte Sano, with traces visible in the adjacent nature preserve.
