The Lookout Mountain Parkway is a 93 mile road that stretches from Gadsden, AL to Chattanooga, TN. It is a very scenic drive through three U.S. states: visitors will enjoy seeing canyons, national and state parks, waterfalls, and towns and villages. The drive begins at Noccalula Falls Park on top of Lookout Mountain in Gadsden.

Some of the attractions and parks along the parkway include the 5,000 acre DeSoto State Park with its hiking and camping, Little River Canyon National Park with its canyons and waterfalls, and the 800 acre Shady Grove Dude Ranch and Cloudmont Ski & Golf Resort. Mentone with its mineral springs has been a health resort town since the late 1800s.
