Buck's Pocket State Park

Great hidden overlook over the canyon. Short walk from parking area. Very close to High Falls Park. I recommend visiting both!

Fall colors about to begin at Buck's Pocket State Park. Legend has it that the park is named for the large herds of deer, or a man nicknamed Buck who lived in a nearby cave...only in Alabama, lol. This 2000 acre park is in a natural pocket of the Appalachian Mountain. Rumor has it that unsuccessful Alabama politicians head here after lost elections to do lord knows what.

8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)

It was clean other than the blood stains on the top cover. the beds/pillows in the room we were in (117) wasn’t as comfy as the one at our previous stay. That room was remodeled. Hopefully soon all the rooms will be remodeled and updated Also the tv in 117 would not go to all the channels and the phone didn’t work. However it was a safe place.
