Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, split by the Tennessee River & Lake Guntersville, visitors never run out of jaw dropping outdoor exploration on the 69,000 acre Lake, or 80,000 acres of public hunting land. As proud members of the Southeast Cave Conservancy, our destination is known to have more caves per square mile than any other county in the country. No matter what kind of adventure you crave, there is something for everyone to explore here on the wilder edge of Northeast Alabama.

We are home to several nationally known attractions including Unclaimed Baggage Center, Russell Cave National Monument, Cathedral Caverns State Park and a 150-year-old soda fountain called Payne’s.

Bustling with year-round events that celebrate our unique history, culture and the arts visitors typically come to enjoy Scottsboro, and surrounding areas during every season of the year!
