Piedmont at a glance

A mountain‑town hub with room to breathe

Piedmont sits in a valley between two ridges, where trails, creeks, and community all intersect. It's a place where you can ride the Chief Ladiga Trail in the morning, float Terrapin Creek in the afternoon, and still make it to Friday night lights or a Jacksonville State University game in the evening.

School System

Strong, connected schools

Piedmont City Schools are known across Alabama for their academics, technology, and tight‑knit feel. Families appreciate the small class sizes and the way teachers know their students by name.

Location

Close to everything, away from the rush

Roughly 12 miles from Division I Jacksonville State University and about 20 miles from Weiss Lake, Piedmont keeps you close to work, ballgames, and the water without big‑city traffic.

Lifestyle

Trail town & creek capital

The Chief Ladiga Trail, Pinhoti Trail, and Terrapin Creek all meet here, making Piedmont a true outdoor gateway for cyclists, hikers, and paddlers.
