NOCCALULA FALLS PARK

It was a pretty day here today. My husband and
I decided to take advantage of the nice weather
and take a drive up to Noccalula Falls Park that
is located in Gadsden, Alabama. With all the rain
we have had in previous days we knew the falls
would be spectacular and they were. The park
is named for a Cherokee maiden, Noccalula, who
plunged to her death, because she would not
marry the Indian brave her father had chosen for
her. She was in love with another.

Statue of Noccalula over looking the falls.

Another view of the statue. If you look

close you will see a rainbow on the right.

Plaque telling about Noccalula and why

she jumped.

Pretty rainbow. The mist from the

falls reminded me of Niagara Falls.

This is a double rainbow. The rainbows were

just beautiful.

The falls. Just to the right is a cavern where

one can walk down and go under the falls,

when the falls have just a little water going over.

The ducks stayed clear of the river it was just

too rough for them.

The footbridge was closed. It is located just

before the falls. You can see why the ducks

stayed on land.

The Nocca Choo-Choo was not running today.

When it is it takes riders around the park.

This is a wedding chapel, that is being built in

the park, that should be open in a few months.

We had a good day and enjoyed the beauty of

the falls especially the rainbows.
