DeKalb County is blessed with an abundance of hiking trails at our many scenic overlooks and parks, including two State Parks and a National Preserve.

Spring in the mountains of NE Alabama is an aphrodisiac for the senses. One where you can enjoy the smells of wildflowers, the sounds of waterfall, and take in the the sights of walking trails. Experience Lookout Mountain Alabama.

The history of Fort Payne can easily be seen within a walking distance of one segment of time frame to another. A self-guided walking tour is a pleasurable one, no matter the season and on level terrain, making it easy for most to navigate.

If one has never experienced the magnificent season of fall in the mountains of NE Alabama, they are missing the radiant splendor that is Mother Nature Herself. Those who know of these mountains, seek their solitude and beauty in all four seasons, especially autumn.

Join us in celebrating the “history, heritage, and happiness” of Fort Payne at Boom Days Heritage Celebration with a variety of events and exhibits tying the past to the present!
