Salt Creek Falls are a stunning example of a cascading waterfall with a large swimming hole at the base. Located in Talladega National Forest inside the Talladega Ranger District, the beautiful cascading waterfall also has a reputation for being extremely dangerous due to the high cliffs on either side of the falls. The trail to the falls winds downhill on the way in and has a steep incline on the way out, making for a strenuous hike back. Despite its deadly reputation, though, Salt Creek Falls is a popular swimming spot with locals in the summer.
