Lower White Creek Falls, Upper White Creek Falls & Valentine's Pool - Bankhead National Forest

White Creek Falls is a secluded waterfall located in the Bankhead National Forest. It consists of 2 beautiful waterfalls. You will follow mostly marked trails but it is partially off-trail.

The trail is 6.5 miles round trip and is rated as difficult. The hike starts on system trail 201, which you take until you see signs for 209. Trail 209 will come to a fork in the path (Sipsey Fork). At this point, hike off the trail downstream (follow the footpath) until you reach the first drainage. This is White Creek. Hike up the drainage along White Creek until you reach Lower White Creek Falls.

After exploring Lower White Creek Falls, you can reach Upper White Creek Falls and Valentine Pool by following a narrow footpath up the rock ledge. BE CAREFUL! There’s a steep drop off here and it’s very slippery. A short hike upstream and you will reach Upper White Creek Falls and Valentine Pool. The Valentine Pool looks deep enough for a quick swim before heading back up the canyon.
