Elmore County Economic Development Authority - Wetumpka, AL

When Stars fell on Alabama, they fell on Elmore County! It's true! Over 80 million years ago a meteor struck Elmore County, leaving a huge impact. And today Elmore County is impacted by its other "stars," which bring folks from around the country to enjoy our sites, attractions and endless recreational opportunities.  

Follow the path two of Alabama's largest rivers, the Tallapoosa and the Coosa rivers  as they meet to form the headwaters of the mighty Alabama River.  While there, stop and explore  600 years of history at Fort Toulouse National Historic Park located just south of Wetumpka.

A ‘fisherman's paradise’ easily describes the many opportunities as is testified by the number of tournaments held on the rivers each year for bass, crappie and catfish.  And you can enjoy some of the best canoeing & kayaking in the country along with thousands of water enthusiasts from around the world at the Coosa River White water Challenge each fall. 

We invite you to experience Elmore County – from Fort Toulouse to our newest star,  the development of the Wetumpka Impact Crater interpretive center.
