One of Alabama's nicknames is "Land of a Thousand Waterfalls" and North Alabama is home to a majority in the state. Here you’ll find many scenic falls tucked into wilderness areas, forests, and cascading into mighty canyons offering magnificent backdrops. Little River Canyon National Preserve features two waterfalls and the area has been designated as one of 10 Natural Wonders of Alabama. Waterfalls can also be found along the Sipsey River, a designated Wild and Scenic River.
