Hikking UNDER A Waterfall at Noccalula Falls, Gadsden Alabama

A couple weekends ago, we went to Noccalula Falls with the kids...and wanted to share this beautiful Alabama Travel destination!
More info on the park: www.noccalulafa...
Originally known as the Black Creek Falls, the Legend of Noccalula, as written by Mathilde Bilbro, says that “long ago, on a mountain summit within sight and sound of a rushing waterfall, lived a great Indian chief whose young daughter, Noccalula, was famed far and wide for her beauty and loveliness of character.” Many gallant braves lobbied the old chief for the hand of Noccalula, but only one was favored by the girl’s father, a rich chief of a powerful neighboring tribe, who had much to offer in exchange: wampum, horses, and blankets. Noccalula pleaded that her heart was already given to a young brave from her own tribe.
This young warrior, though noted for his skill and valor, possessed little in worldly goods. The old chief refused to listen and ordered his daughter to make ready for the marriage he had arranged. What was a maiden’s silly fancy compared to many horses, much wampum, and union with another strong tribe? The girl’s lover was driven from the tribe and a marriage agreement was made with the neighboring chief.
The wedding day came and a great feast was prepared. In silence, Noccalula allowed herself to be arrayed in festive wedding robes. Overcome with grief, she quietly slipped away from the merrymakers during the festivities as the soft rhythmical rush of waters called her. For a moment, she stood poised upon the brink of the yawning chasm. One leap, and her troubles were over.
Heartbroken, the remorseful father gave the great cascade his daughter’s name. Since that day the waterfall has been called Noccalula.

Long time no see. WOW! You just brought back a lot of memories. The last time I was there was 97 for my mothers funeral. When younger I lived with my grandparents just a couple miles further up the mountain on Monte Vista Drive. I remember when Noccalula falls was nothing but a playground and undeveloped campground with a refreshment stand and watched as they brought in the old buildings to develop the pioneer village. Have they rebuilt the stairs going down to the falls? They used to be a rickety pipe frame system. Was actually a little scary getting down. I assume they are still there but there used to be baseball fields next door where I played little league baseball and just across the street a small barber shop that cut my hair. Not all good memories. My best friend as a kid was killed in a motorcycle accident in front of the falls when he was 16.
