  • Join us as we explore the City of Gadsden in Etowah County! We'll begin as always by exploring the Historic Downtown, before heading to the riverfront to enjoy several parks that Gadsden has along the water. Afterwards, we'll discover one of Alabama's most iconic natural wonders, Noccalula Falls. Finally, we'll take in a movie under the stars at the Sand Mountain Twin Drive-In.
    Gadsden was a lot of fun to experience, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thanks for watching Sparks of Discovery!

    Just moved into Etowah the bottom southwest outside Altoona. I've been to Gadsden but haven't got to explore it , I've heard horror stories and good ones y'all helped keep hope alive.

    I am considering moving to Gadsden from Minnesota. I'm tired of our -65 below with windchill winters. Gadsden looks beautiful.

      We totally understand, Gadsden is a beautiful place and so unique.

      As a Gadsden resident I would suggest Noccalula Mountain, Southside, Rainbow City or Hokes Bluff. Those are probably the nicest places in that order

      I grew up there. I have good memories there. My brother still there. It's an excellent place to raise kids and retire. The economy suffered with the closure of Goodyear and The Steele Plant.

    Y’all did about everything that I would recommend to new visitors here, although seems as if you missed out on Hinds road near the falls. It’s a supposedly haunted road where a witch lived back in the day and there’s stories about it online to read up on but it would be a nice edition next trip here if you have a vehicle that can go on rougher gravel roads.

    Sand mountain drive in is in Boaz which is also in a different county as well

    • @SparksofDiscovery
      @SparksofDiscovery  Před měsícem

      The drive-in was located in Etowah County and was south of Boaz outside of the city limits. We wanted to include it because we thought it was a nice ending to the video, even though it wasn’t technically in Gadsden. Doesn’t matter now, as it closed not long after the video was released.

    Do you do your own drone videos? If so what drone are you using, videos are great.
