Day Trips around Calhoun County

Calhoun County, Alabama, is a natural attraction with tons of things to do, and we're surrounded by other communities and counties with even more family fun!

Etowah County
Noccalula Falls is located around two miles from Gadsden. There, you can camp, hike, visit the petting zoo, peruse the botanical gardens, take a ride on the train, play a round of mini-golf or simply admire the falls.

Dekalb & Cherokee Counties
Little River Canyon is unique in that it is located atop Lookout Mountain, complete with waterfalls along canyon rims and many recreational activities. Whether you're just wanting lovely views and a winding ride or seek the tranquility of a hike, exploring the canyon has something for everyone.

Northeast Alabama Wine Trail
Nestled in the Appalachian foothills, six wineries grow a variety of fruits and produce some yummy wines. Although we don't recommend visiting the entire trail in one day, we do recommend spreading a trip to the tasting rooms over a weekend, to sample the things unique to each.

Talladega County
Naturally, you have to visit the home of Talladega Nights, and browse the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, with their collection of history making cars and stories from the tracks.

Mind you, we're a day trip from Chattanooga and Montgomery too, near Atlanta, near Birmingham, near perfect along the I-20 corridor.
