Buck's Pocket State Park, State park in Grove Oak, Alabama, United States
The 2000-acre park spans across Sand Mountain, featuring natural canyons, hardwood forests, and South Sauty Creek along the Appalachian Mountain chain.
The park originated in 1966 when the Sand Mountain Booster's Club formed the Tri-County Park Authority and purchased land from a local farmer.
Local folklore connects the park's name to multiple stories, including deer herds, Native American legends, and a Civil War draft evader named Buck Berry.
The park includes 23 campsites with modern amenities, concrete pads, picnic tables, fire pits, plus an 8-mile off-road vehicle trail and hiking paths.
Point Rock Overlook provides views across the canyon, while Morgan's Cove offers boat launch facilities and fishing opportunities on Lake Guntersville.
