2026 Waterfalls in Alabama
We’ve mapped 1 waterfalls in Alabama, covering 1 waterfall types across the Appalachian Highlands.
Alabama waterfall hikes concentrate in the Cumberland Plateau and the Appalachian foothills of the northeast corner. DeSoto Falls is the standout — a 104-foot cascade in DeSoto State Park accessible by a short 0.8-mile walk, with an overlook deck that makes it suitable for any fitness level. Spring runoff (March through May) delivers the most dramatic flow; summer brings reduced volume but pleasant swimming downstream. The state's broader waterfall scene includes Little River Canyon, Noccalula Falls, and the Sipsey Wilderness — Alabama is genuinely competitive with Tennessee and Georgia for southern waterfall density.
