Larkwood Falls — Attraction in Cullman

This place is so beautiful!! It really is right off the road. As many have said parking is very limited, however, you don't need to be hiking for hours to get to the falls. So most people don't stay very long and parking has a reasonably high turn over rate. There is a small trail behind the guard rail that loops around.

We made a game called “bust or dust” where we’ll guess whether the other person can make it into complete powder or just break it up. Also be careful if you walk right up to the falls because they are a bit...

I thought having got some rain the last 2 days this one would be good, but apparently it needs a pretty generous amount of rain to flow. I'll have to check it again next time I pass through Cullman! Just make sure you check the water levels before coming out to this one! It's right in town and viewable right from the road so it's a very easy stop, but it will be dry if there hasn't been...
