Directions to Caney Creek Falls
Caney Creek Falls are close to but outside the boundary of the Sipsey
Wilderness Area and not really within walking distance of any of the
Wilderness trailheads. Here are the directions as (more or less) provided
by the USFS, starting from the Bankhead National Forest District Rangers
Office on AL Hwy 33, about a mile north of Double Springs.
Leave the office. Go north on Hwy 33 for 3.0 miles. Turn left on
County Road 2. Go 3.7 miles to a small place to park on the right side of the
road, just past mailbox 9916.
(That's from the east. If you were coming down Hwy 195 from Haleyville,
about half a mile past Ashridge, look for CR 2, on your left this time.
Turn left and that small place to park will be about 1.5 miles on the left.)
Either way, park off the road. There is a gate across the trail.
Walk past the gate and follow the old road trail to the falls.
