Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve is a 422-acre preserve on the south bank of Big Canoe Creek, including most of the Slab Creek watershed, in northern Springville in St Clair County.

The Friends of Big Canoe Creek was organized in 2008 to lobby for the protection of the watershed. The preserve land was acquired by the Forever Wild Land Trust in two tracts in 2018 and 2019. The State Lands Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources partnered with St Clair County, the St Clair Economic Development Council, and the City of Springville to construct trails, an access road, trailhead parking and other visitor facilities.

Longtime Friends of Big Canoe Creek board president Doug Morrison was hired by the City of Springville as preserve manager in 2022. The preserve opened to the public on February 3, 2024.
