Falling Rock Falls is located within the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge near Montevallo, Alabama. This scenic trail has an easy rating and is 1.8 miles out and back. It's perfect for all skill levels. While hiking the Falling Rock Falls Trail, you'll encounter lots of scenery. However, it's the 90-foot waterfall at the end of the trail that makes the hike well worth it.

When you get to the trailhead, park near the gate and walk down the road. Take the first road on the left about 0.5 miles in and follow the road to the next right turn. After walking another 1/4 mile, take the road to the left with the dirt mounded in front of it down the hill to the falls. Once you get there, you'll be able to hear the falls. USE CAUTION! You will approach from the top of the falls and the edge of the cliff can sneak up on you.
From there, you can follow the trail on the right to the bottom of the falls and explore the cavern behind the falls.

If you walk downstream from Falling Rock Falls you will see a second waterfall on the left. You don’t want to miss this.
