Waterfall Trail
The Waterfall Trail at Lake Guntersville State Park is a favorite of many hikers. Its
short distance and, of course, its namesake waterfall (which is seasonal) makes it a
nice outing for individuals and families, especially in the spring and fall after a
good rainfall. Sadly, multiple tornado strikes in 2011 have virtually defoliated the
upper portion of the trail, but it is still one worth walking.
