Didn't know that place existed.
Just a little northeast of Gadsden. We ride hogs up there every spring. Go to Fort Payne direction off of I-59 towards Little River Canyon away from Collinsville. Collinsville was always famous or the original flea market of Alabama. Trade for livestock, goats, pigs, cattle, chickens and everything else.
Little River Canyon is only place in Alabama that you can snow ski at. They have snow making equipment, a lift and small resort cabins to rent. Very beautiful.
The Little River feeds down into Lake Weiss, into Cherokee County. Just north of there is Mentone Alabama and Valley Head. Lake Weiss is the best crappie fishing lake in Alabama. The other direction of river goes back towards Gadsden.
Centre Alabama in Cherokee County is where singer songwrite is Randy Newman is from:
"Newman has been nominated for twenty Academy Awards, winning twice. He has also won three Emmys, five Grammy Awards, and the Governor's Award from the Recording Academy. Newman was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2007, Newman was inducted as a Disney Legend."
His songs "Short People" and "Birmingham" were famous in the 1970s.
Videos are from 30 years ago:
Click here for linkWeatherman James Spann always tells the coldest temperatures in Alabama are from Mentone and Valley Head in the winter months.
Anyway if you go to Little River Canyon and follow the river back to Gadsden you will come to Noccalula Falls just northeast of Gadsden.
The road is a series of twist and turns up and down the mountain ridge. Great for motorcycle cruising.
