Sougahoagdee Falls

It’s no secret that Alabama is well known for its incredible hiking trails. While some of these trails are difficult to navigate and geared toward advanced hikers, others are quite easy and perfect for beginners. Many of Alabama’s hiking trails also lead to some of the state’s most beautiful waterfalls, including Sougahoagdee Falls.

This 30 foot fall nestled in a hollow off of Brushy Creek in the Bankhead Forest is a beauty. Bluffs rise from the creek to form a natural bowl with the falls spilling over from above at one end. Ferns and lush greenery make it feel a little like some kind of hidden paradise. The trail to get there is an added bonus. Though unmaintained and unmarked, it’s pretty easy to follow, and as an added bonus it takes you past four other smaller waterfalls. That’s a total of five waterfalls in one reasonably easy five mile out and back hike!
