The Greater Gadsden Area and Etowah County are unsurpassed in natural beauty! The majestic Coosa River flows through the very heart of Gadsden as well as four other communities in the county: Hokes Bluff, Glencoe, Rainbow City and Southside. Neely Henry Lake are home to regional championship fishing tournaments as well as being used for recreational boating, kayaking, and fishing. Noccalula Falls,

a 90-foot waterfall named after legend of Princess
Noccalula, sits inside the Gadsden City limits on Lookout Mountain. Both a scenic Park and Campground sit astride the waterfall, which can be viewed for free and requires a short walk on sidewalk to get to. Noccalula Falls Park (fee to enter) is a top Alabama natural tourist attraction and the park includes botanical gardens, children's playground, mini-golf (separate fee), train rides, Pioneer Village, and a 200-space RV campground complete with country store & swimming pool. Also, the Black Creek Trail and its’ off-shoots provides walking, hiking, running, and mountain-biking year round. There are festivals and special events almost every weekend that bring excitement to the area for visitors and locals. The Alabama State Chocolate Festival in Rainbow City each April, or Gadsden Riverfest Music Festival each June are just two events that bring thousands of visitors to the area. "The Lookout Mountain Parkway" is a scenic highway that begins at the Falls and heads up Lookout Mountain for 90 miles to Chattanooga, TN. Each first Thursday through Sunday in August brings the "World's Longest Yard Sale" to the Park and up the Parkway and the Highway 127 corridor to Michigan. Tens of thousands of visitors begin their trek on this route in Gadsden at Noccalula Falls Park. Be sure to take a stroll through Gadsden's Historic Downtown main-street district. Also, antique shops abound in neighboring historic Downtown Attalla. There are many unique restaurants throughout Etowah County for your dining pleasure. Go to our website for a full list!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks in tourism and we love seeing so much happening across the Greater Gadsden Area!

We celebrated the opening of new exhibits and renovations at the GMA: Gadsden Museum of Art, along with a special ceremony recognizing Judge Bobby Junkins as Gadsden’s first Pillar of the Community.

Then, one of our biggest events of the year rolled into town, 127 Yard Sale - The World's Longest Yard Sale! We welcomed visitors from across the country to Gadsden, Alabama, as they kicked off their treasure hunts along this iconic route.

We also joined partners from Etowah and Cherokee County for a Regional Trails Coalition meeting and enjoyed a tour of the Windy Van Hooten Teaching Garden.

A special highlight was spending time with Ms. Dorothy Robinson, Etowah County’s tourism pioneer. It was wonderful to hear her stories about advocating for tourism in Montgomery and working to help others understand just how important tourism is to our local economy and communities. Her passion for Etowah County and her belief in the future of Greater Gadsden Area Tourism are truly inspiring.

There’s always something happening in the Greater Gadsden Area, and we’re proud to continue building on the work of those who helped pave the way while sharing our communities with visitors from near and far.
