Kinlock Falls, Bankhead National Forest, Alabama

Kinlock Falls, Alabama
34° 18' 31" N
87° 30' 06"W
About 68 mi NW of Birmingham

Kinlock Falls is along Hubbard Creek in the Bankhead National Forest. It is in the southwest corner of Lawrence County. We chose to visit based on Indiana Joe's post on Google Earth. It was very cold when we visited, with long icicles hanging over the water. Even so, we could imagine relief from summer heat in an old fashioned swimming hole. How fun to slide down the falls!

After some research, we will go back to explore the ruins around this monument just beyond the falls. The area appears to have some interesting stories to tell!Kinlock Monument Plaque
