Hike to Caney Creek Falls
Caney Creek Falls is a perfect summertime hike! Within one mile from the trailhead, we will encounter the stunning falls, and one of the best swimming holes in Alabama. The hike into the canyon is mostly on an old road, which is now an un-maintained trail. The descent into the canyon is quite steep for a brief time, as is the hike out on the way back. For most hikers, this is the most challenging part of the hike.
The trailhead is located on Winston County Rd. 2, south of Sipsey Fork on the west side of the Bankhead. If it is more convenient to meet the group at the trailhead, or somewhere along the way, please let us know when signing up. We can provide directions!
Leader: Janice Barrett
Distance: 2.5 miles roundtrip
