Description
Here in Alabama's Gadsden area, just off I-59, residents are fortunate to have Noccalula Falls in their own backyard. The roadside attraction at Noccalula Falls Park takes in a scenic Black River area and features a 90 foot waterfall.
The waterfall is named for a Cherokee maiden, Noccalula. The legend of Noccalula tells of her upcoming marriage, prearranged by her father. The maiden's heart was set on another young brave of her own tribe. And sadly, on her wedding day, dressed in her ceremonial attire, Noccalula leaped to her death into the Black Creek Canyon below.
