Where the Waterfalls Are

East Florence sits in or near the Bankhead and the Northwest Hills area of Alabama. Northwest Alabama is a landscape of sandstone bluffs, hemlock-shaded hollows and rock overhangs, much of it within the Bankhead National Forest and its Sipsey Wilderness. Waterfalls here are usually short, wide pour-overs where a creek drops off a resistant ledge into a sandy pool. Kinlock Falls in Lawrence County is one of the most visited, and Parker Falls near Haleyville is another local favorite. Closer to the Tennessee River, Georgia Falls in Colbert County is unusual: water from Wilson Lake seeps through the bedrock below Wilson Dam and runs down a cut rock face.
