Located just outside the Sipsey Wilderness in Double Springs, Caney Creek Falls and Upper Caney Creek Falls are among the most beautiful waterfalls in Alabama. Surrounded by moss-covered rocks and evergreen trees in a lush, secluded area at the head of Caney Creek, the year-round falls are reached by an easy 3-mile hike through dense woodlands and verdant undergrowth.

Heavy rains produce two curtains of water that pour from the ledge into the swimming hole below, which is ideal for kids and dogs to splash around in. Be cautious on the approach to the falls, which is steep and the walk out of the canyon is at an incline, so prepare for a workout.

Caney Creek Falls are located a 1.5-hour drive from Birmingham at the Caney Creek Falls Trailhead on County Road 2 in Double Springs.
