Noccalula Falls cascade 90 feet over Lookout Mountain ledge into a lush ravine. Noccalula Falls Park is located on Noccalula Rd (Route 211) in Gadsden, AL.

Noccalula Falls Park is a 250-acre public park located in Gadsden, Alabama (USA).

The falls are located on land once owned by R.A. Mitchell, who gave the site to the city of Gadsden, so that the area could be improved, and everyone could enjoy the majestic falls. Across the street from the falls you will find R.A. Mitchell Elementary School, named in his honor. The main feature of the park is a notable 90-foot (27-m) waterfall with a gorge trail[1] winding through its basin and 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.

The Noccalula Falls Botanical Gardens is an extensive botanical garden displaying over 25,000 azaleas.
