Cooley Cemetery Trail is located on TVA’s Guntersville Reservoir in Northern Alabama and is part of the Cave Mountain Small Wild Area. If you want to develop some endurance this is a good trail to pursue on foot or wheels—or you can experience it from horseback. There are two standing chimneys along this trail from old homesites that were in existence before the dam was built and a cemetery with graves dating back to the 1800’s. The trail also provides access to some great fishing sites for those who like to fish form the shore. This trail is for hiking and equestrian use. Courtesy: Tennessee Valley Authority

This trail is on the south side of Guntersville Dam about 6.5 miles north of Guntersville, AL off of HWY 69 (trailhead is on the right). Secondary trailhead can be reached from the end of Manchester Drive. Courtesy: National Geographic, Tennessee Valley Geotourism
