Cute park near Lake Guntersville
For fathers day we wanted to take an adventure somewhere we hadn't visited before so we decided to check out Buck's Pocket state park since the hiking at Guntersville seemed a little too mild and we wanted to avoid any crowds. The park here is not huge but really well cared for. When we arrived the staff was incredibly helpful and so friendly and directed us to where to start our hike. We did the 2.4 mile out and back to the viewpoint and it is really an incredible sight. Definitely worth the visit just to check out the view. We then set up our picnic lunch at the campsite area and enjoyed some time under the covered tables while the weather turned and a torrential downpour started. The site is set up as a classic car campground with pull-in sites for RVs and a few designated areas for tent only. They do even have a backcountry site that you hike a little way in to get to. Check out my video for a better look at the whole site. We then drove a little way back down the road to High Falls park and enjoyed a quick dip in the water before the weather caught up with us again. We will definitely be back though since this whole area has a lot to offer.
