  • Decatur: Fun in the River City Road Trip # 20 Nestled in the Tennessee
    Decatur: Fun in the River City Road Trip # 20 Nestled in the Tennessee River Valley, Decatur was originally a river crossing for settlers west of the Appalachian Mountains. It was incorporated in 1826. Settlers were drawn to the community by its fertile river valley soil and relatively easy access to other cities. Decatur has several Civil War sites and is well known for its historic homes, commercial buildings and parks. Located on the banks of the Tennessee River in North Alabama, Decatur [http://www.decaturcvb.com] is called “The River City” and is known for its great outdoor recreation. A few minutes off I-65 is Point Mallard Park [http://www.pointmallardpark.com] (2901 Point Mallard Dr., 256-341-4900). This 500-acre family park lets you stay in tune with nature 365 days a year. The park borders the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge [http://www.fws.gov/wheeler] (2700 Refuge Headquarters Rd.; 256-353-7243) and is home to an 18-hole golf course, a 25-acre wooded campground, an indoor ice skating rink, a tennis center, an athletic complex, soccer fields and one of the state’s most popular water-themed attractions. Making Waves at Point Mallard Point Mallard is home to America’s first wave pool.

The Point Mallard Aquatic Center features the original Wave Pool, Pro Bowl Slide, Towering Sky Pond and Speed Slide, three Flume Tube Rides, Olympic Pool, Sandy Beach, a scenic lagoon and a children’s area featuring the Squirt Factory & Duck Pond.
