Redstone Arsenal is located in the middle of the Tennessee Valley. The Tennessee River, which borders the Arsenal on the south, is made to order for those who enjoy fishing, hunting, boating, water skiing, picnicking, hiking, biking, or just sitting and enjoying the scenery. Huntsville, Alabama, a city of about 158,000 residents, borders the Arsenal to the East and North and serves as the area's health and educational center. Fine shopping, schools, and professional facilities make Huntsville a very desirable place to live. Its Von Braun Center draws many shows for a full entertainment package.
