Set atop Lookout Mountain near Fort Payne, Little River Falls is a lovely 45-foot waterfall with year-round water flow, an abundance of beautiful natural scenery, and straightforward access.
This northeast Alabama gem is based at the start of the spectacular Little River Canyon in the Little River Canyon National Preserve and can be easily reached from a trail next to the bridge in Gaylesville, off Highway 35. There are picnic tables at the site for enjoying packed lunches, and the pool into which the waterfall flows in big and deep enough for swimming.
472 Alabama Hwy. 35, Gaylesville, AL 35973
