Travel more than 630-miles of scenic beauty and see tons of yard sales. Get started on your journey by traveling the 93- mile Lookout Mountain Parkway route from Gadsden, Alabama to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the most "scenic rural America" in the United States. Alabama has more than 1,000 yard sale vendors alone! You will find everything from antiques, collectibles, furniture, dishwares, fresh garden produce, homemade jams and jellies, food vendors, live entertainment and so much more. Continue with the yard sale, following the U.S. 127 Corridor from Chattanooga, TN to Defiance, OH for another 530 miles of yard sale bargains. When combined, the Lookout Mountain Parkway and the 127 Corridor have had as many as 5,000 vendors lined along the scenic yard sale route in past years and the year 2007 promises to be even bigger. Residents of DeKalb County,
Alabama invite you to spend some time touring the area and enjoying the hospitality of our
people.
Spend the night in one of our
many Bed and Breakfast Inns, State Park or other cabin rentals located in Historic
Mentone and other motels and unique accommodations located within minutes of the yard sale
route. View scenic vistas and majestic waterfalls as you visit the Little River Canyon National Preserve
and DeSoto State Park. See deer and
cattle grazing side by side in rolling hills and farmland.
Come travel the
Lookout Mountain Parkway in DeKalb County, Alabama! Yard sale begins at the Noccalula Falls Park in Gadsden, Alabama on top of Lookout Mountain. Follow Tabor Road, across from Noccalula Falls. Stay on this road and it will become Alabama 176. Follow 176 to the Dogtown Community and stay straight through the 4-way stop. The road then becomes DeKalb County 89. Stay on 89 through communities such as Five Points, Fort Payne, Fischer, DeSoto State Park and on into Mentone, Alabama. From Mentone turn right onto Alabama 117 and follow into Georgia where it becomes Georgia Road #48. You will stay straight a short distance before turning left on GA 157, then left on 136, right on 189 then right on 157 again. This carries you directly in front of Rock City where you travel down Lookout Mountain and pick up TN 27 to the U.S. 127 Corridor for the remainder of the yard sale where it ends in Covington, KY. (The road winds around a little in Chattanooga as you make your way to the 127 Corridor. Follow Ochs Hwy. off of Lookout Mountain to Tennessee Ave. to Broad St. to Hwy 27 to the U.S. Hwy. 127) Simply reverse these directions if you choose to follow the route from North to South. Although the Yard Sale officially goes from Gadsden to Defiance, feel free to jump on board anywhere in between. Lots of junk and antiques await you from one end to the other and all points in-between. *Note - The Gadsden to Chattanooga route is called the Lookout Mountain Parkway and will bear green signs that state this. Reader's Digest named the Parkway as one of America's most Scenic Drives.
