Description

Bishop Mountain is the closest quality bouldering area to Huntsville (for now at least). It is a widespread area with fairly good stone and a nice spot for post-work sessions. Approaches range anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes.

We have done our best to pinpoint exact locations of boulders, but given the limitations of Mountain Project, locations might be slightly off. Be aware that this is an expansive area and it may take you some time to learn the lay of the land.

Please note that this area is TVA public land and is shared by other user groups. Please be respectful of other users and abide by all TVA rules for public land usage.

Getting There

From Huntsville: Take Hwy 431 towards Guntersville and turn right onto Guntersville Dam Road. Continue straight. The Bishop Mountain area encompasses the entire left side of the road until you reach Guntersville Dam.
