About Noccalula Falls Park

Noccalula Falls Park sits in the foothills of the Appalachians in Gadsden, Alabama. Its signature feature is a tall waterfall dropping into the Black Creek ravine. Paved walking paths wind through the grounds, and visitors can ride a replica 1863 miniature train. The park also has a petting zoo, a Pioneer Village that shows life in earlier times, picnic pavilions, and a playground. Hikers and mountain bikers can use more than 15 miles of trails through the gorge and forest. A separate mini golf course next to the park has waterfalls and rock formations and is lit for evening play. The park also runs a campground and hosts seasonal events, including a holiday lights event in winter.
