Kayaking to Yellow Creek Falls in Leesburg, Alabama

Yellow Creek offers an easy, short paddle. It takes you upstream through the ruins of a giant stone railroad bridge where you can paddle to the rock gardens and beach below the house-sized boulders. A short hike leads to 100-foot Yellow Creek Falls, which tumbles into a clear blue hole that’s perfect for swimming. You can start after breakfast, do the whole thing, and be back by lunch. But bring lunch along, this is an excellent picnic opportunity. You can rent kayaks and canoes from Yellow Creek Falls Fish Camp.
