Noccalula Falls
Legend has it that the breathtaking beauty of the 100’ waterfall in this Alabama park does not compare to the beauty of the Indian girl for which it is named, Noccalula. According to the story, Noccalula flung herself over the rushing waters of the falls rather than betray her true love and marry a man of her father’s choosing. Grief-stricken, her father gave the natural wonder his daughter’s name and it is now known as Noccalula Falls.

In addition to the beauty of the falls, this beautiful park boasts many historic sites including a gorge trail depicting caves and Indian carvings, an old aboriginal fort, an abandoned dam, and Civil War carvings. A huge botanical garden surrounds the entire park with thousands of azaleas. Visitors are welcome to explore the park and picnic and camping facilities are available.

Noccalula Falls is located on State Highway 211, 1500 Noccalula Road, Gadsden, Alabama. The park is open daily from 9:00 am to sunset. For more information, call

The Etowah Experience
The picturesque chapters of Etowah’s early history are scenes of the nation’s progress, and symbols of the nation’s pain, her deeds of great honor and acts of great shame; with sights of growth and sounds of change; of dying Cherokees on the Trail of Tears, of rebel yells and funeral marches, of railroad whistles and street car bells, and of the churning waters of the paddle wheelers that brought commerce and excitement to the banks of the Coosa.

Today, Etowah is a thriving county of a hundred thousand hospitable people all working together to keep the “Etowah Experience” a way of life for ourselves and and our visitors.
