Fort Payne

Visiting Fort Payne, Alabama, soon? You’ll find a city that once produced 50% of America’s socks! The Sock Capital of the World is now a popular leisure travel destination — and the original home of the acclaimed Alabama band. If you love outdoor adventure, go zip-lining and fishing at DeSoto State Park and rafting at the Little River Canyon National Preserve. For indoor fun, check out the Wills Valley Recreation Center, and swing by the Fort Payne Depot Museum. Finish up with grub and spirits at Vintage 1889, and shop for antiques at the Big Mill Antique Mall. Cheers!
