As I scheduled a trip to Clanton in early 2008, I immediately had visions of peaches dancing in my head. Having driven past the giant peach water tower immediately off of I-65 for years, I always wondered just how good the peaches were. There was a great article in Southern Living magazine (linked in favorite links) that featured the best exits off of I-65. The featured stop in Clanton off of exit 205 was the peach park (http://www.peachpk.com/) . This place features large grounds with swings, waterfalls, an open air vegetable market and of course, peaches. I assumed the peaches would be good, but was very pleasantly surprised at how good the barbecue was. I recommend the barbecue with a bowl of fruit on the side. The fruit bar features fresh fruits of a varieties and as expected the peaches were outstanding. The only negative I had was that I was a disappointed with the peach cobbler. I think it is so massed produced that it loses a little in translation. Overall, I agree with Southern Living. Good stuff.
