Things To Do

Wind Creek Wetumpka

Wetumpka Impact Crater marker

Wetumpka, Alabama sits right on the bull’s eye of the greatest natural disaster in Alabama’s history. The hills just east of downtown are the eroded remains of a five-mile-wide impact crater that was blasted into the bedrock of what is now Elmore County.

Swayback Bridge Trail

The path is open all year and is popular for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. This route is also available to dogs, although they must be kept on a leash.

Fort Toulouse-Jackson Park

Go experience living history events that showcase the recreated 1751 French fort, the recreated Creek Indian houses, and the partially restored 1814 American Fort Jackson. Visitors can also see a 1,000-year-old Indian mound and walk along the William Bartram Nature Trail.

Coosa River Adventures Inc

Rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard as you enjoy the Coosa River. For beginners, there are guides available. They also offer overnight stays, so if you’re looking for some of your favorite things to do in Wetumpka at night, then this could be it.
