DeKalb County, Alabama is full of many delightful surprises, all waiting to be discovered. It is a place to enjoy the sights and sounds of all four seasons.

Springtime brings a renewal to the mountainous terrain as first the Redbud and Dogwood announce their arrival in a showy display of purple and white flowers. Then the hills come to life with blooms of pink and bright fuschia colored Rhododendron. Mountain Laurel and Wild Azalea blossoms adorn her side. Pink Lady Slippers and Jack in the Pulpits gracefully raise their heads from the forest floor.

Summer brings children squealing with delight as they frolic and play at the many summer camps in Mentone.

Autumn is gloriously adorned in her beautiful array of fall colors. Afternoon scenic drives beckon you along the Lookout Mountain Parkway, through Desoto State Park and Little River Canyon National Preserve and across Sand Mountain to DeKalb County Public Fishing Lake, High Falls Park and Buck's Pocket State Park.

Winter drifts in as downtown shoppers get ready for Christmas and the novice and those eager to learn hone their skills at a mountaintop ski resort.

Beautiful scenery, as shown in these photos, is yours to enjoy as you visit the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in DeKalb County, Alabama. No matter what the season, every day is an adventure in DeKalb.

Come See...Just for the Fun of It!
