Noccalula Falls is a plunge waterfall in Alabama with a documented drop of 90 ft (27 m).
The falls are fed by Black Creek. You'll find it in Etowah, Alabama. It is protected within City of Gadsden.
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Gadsden, the closest town.
When to go: Winter and spring. Like most waterfalls, Noccalula Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
