Turkeyfoot Falls is a 20-foot waterfall on Turkeyfoot Creek in the Sipsey Wilderness, Winston County, Alabama, about 9.5 miles north of Double Springs.
The falls
The World Waterfall Database lists the waterfall as unconfirmed and its name as unofficial, and puts the drop at 20 feet in a single pitch at an elevation of about 572 feet; it has also been recorded elsewhere as two drops.
Getting there
The Sipsey Wilderness is a remote 25,770-acre area with about 55 miles of trail, limited trailhead parking and few facilities. The route to Turkeyfoot Falls is a 1.2-mile out-and-back hike, and the bridge on the route is out; the path can also be poorly signed. The Sipsey Recreation Area, managed by the Forest Service, charges $3 per vehicle and is open year-round.
When to go
Flow responds strongly to rainfall and can drop off in dry periods.
On site
With the bridge out, the approach to the falls is a hazard to watch for.
