Buck's Pocket State Park

Introduction of Buck’s Pocket State Park

According to legend, Buck’s Pocket is where all defeated public officials go to lick their wounds after an election loss. This 2,000-acre park in northeast Alabama is nestled in an Appalachian Mountains natural pocket. The picnic area at the park provides a natural vista into the pocket below from the canyon rim. The pocket itself, located on an upstream tributary of Lake Guntersville, features an improved campground with tables, grills, shelters, laundry, a comfort station, a playground, and hiking trails. The park is located in northeast Alabama, two miles north of Grove Oak.
