The local scenery is characterized by forest and water, which make up 75% of the municipal area. The quarry lakes of the Kahl Lake Plateau ("Kahler Seenplatte") with outdoor bathing at "Waldseebad" (former "Emma-Nord" stripmine) and "Campingsee" ("Freigericht-Ost") with one of Bavaria's biggest campsites as well as the angling ponds of the former "Emma-Süd" pit and the "Vorspessartseen" (lakes) offer opportunities for angling, boating, swimming and surfing. Five hiking trails and a fitness course ("Vitaparcours") lead through the Kahl nature areas with their typical vegetation and sand flora. Many wild herbs, hogweed, wild carrot and malva grow in the meadows alongside the Main, where there is also a small campsite.
