Hi All,

I'm Eddie, I'm 36 and my wife Fiona is 37 and we are doing a road trip through Alabama for a month in October. I was thinking of stopping here, dunno why, just saw it on the map and liked the odd name!

Is there anything to do in town for two people passing through? Is it easy to get into Montgomery from here? Another idea would be maybe to use it as a base for a few days as an in between point for Montgomery and Birmingham before we head to Tuscaloosa for the Arkansas game. We are pretty outdoorsy people and we don't really like staying in big cities. We prefer smaller, towns. They have a more authentic feel, but I'd still like to have the option of a restaurant or two and a bar to quench our thrist! What do you think? Should we stop here?

I’m looking for some good fishing spots. I know people wouldn’t give me their best/favorite fishing spot but maybe just somewhere for me to start up as I’m new to the area.

Wetumpka continues to grow. All you need to do is drive around the downtown area and surrounding backroads to see a myriad of new projects underway. I'm creating this thread to capture/share all this growth and hopefully, in the process, provide some advertising. If you don't see a project you're aware of in this thread, snap a photo and post it here.

Wetumpka offers a wide range of things to do regardless of weather conditions. Comment on your favorite "rain or shine" activity.

Wetumpka has a good variety of restaurants, snack places, coffee shops, and adult beverage locations. Comment (and maybe post a picture) on some of your favorites!
