High Falls Geraldine Alabama

Located only a few Miles Northwest of Geraldine Alabama is
High Falls. Located on town creek it has a 25 foot span and
height of 35 feet. It has a natural Arch that is a famous meeting
place for locals and a beautiful place to visit. When the water gets
high in the winter the falls will span all across town creek near 200 foot!

High Falls is part of the Dekalb county Alabama Park
System and is located off of 227. During the winter the
water level can get super high and is an awesome site from
up above. During the summer the water can get down to a
Trickle and the fall foliage can be breath-taken.

There are many things to do including hiking, swimming,
Picnicking, kayaking, and just watching the water flow. It
is really is one of the neatest waterfalls I have ever seen
and is a great place to visit anytime of the year.

I have hiked up and downstream and have had the opportunity
To see wild turkeys playing on the creek. Hiking up creek
is pretty easy and hiking down creek can be a challenge be
Sure to bring some good hiking boots with you!

You will see a bridge that was originally build in 1923 by
locals to cross the creek. The bridge was burnt by vandals
and recently rebuilt in 1996 for foot traffic only.There is an old rope that marks the spot where they used
to baptize people in the early 1900's! The Falls was a
social gathering spot for parties and families in the early 1800's!

High Falls is the start of some class III rapids that is
some of the nicest in the state of Alabama. It is a
journey of 5.8 miles that winds through cliffs laced
with a cave or two all the way down to Guntersville
backwater.It is a very beautiful place and is managed by the county! They will greet you when you pull in
and the hike down to the falls isn't very far.

There are many cools places to check out nearby. You have
Lake Guntersville, Buck's pocket, Griffin falls,
Little River Canyon, little Rock City all within a small drive! It is really is an
awesome place to visit. You can also camp at Buck's Pocket
or Guntersville.


If you are looking for a tranquil and peaceful place to
spend a wonderful afternoon you can't go wrong with High
Falls.
Just follow 227 from Geraldine and when you get to
Mt.Pleasant Church take a left and it is a a few miles
back on the forks of the creek! On 227 you will pass town
creek, be sure to stop and check out Long Falls (never heard
a tech name for it)! It is also a very pretty area of the
creek! It has a long downward falls that looks to spans an
area maybe 60-75 feet in length! Really awesome area just
up from High Falls! High Falls is open from 10am till
6pm and has a locked gate also!
