Noccalula Falls Park

Noccalula Falls Park is a 250-acre (101-ha) public park located in Gadsden, Alabama, United States.

The main feature of the park is a 90-foot (27-m) waterfall with a trail winding through Black Creek Gorge at its base past caves, an aboriginal fort, an abandoned dam, pioneer homestead, and Civil War carvings. The park also features a petting zoo, mini-golf course, the Gilliland-Reese Covered Bridge (built 1899) and a replica 1863 C. P. Huntington train ride.

Noccalula Falls Park was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on May 12, 1976. In 2017, it was rated in 2017 as the best campsite in Alabama in a 50-state survey conducted by Msn.com.

The falls drop itself has been run successfully in whitewater kayaks at least once in late November 2011 by three expert kayakers. The water level was unusually high, permitting a deep enough pool to form at the base of the falls.
