Access the falls and the Hippie Hole swim area from the back of the Little River Falls parking lot. It is about a one-mile walk on a moderately difficult trail to the swim area. The trail is easily followed, but irregular and has many roots that you must step over. The end of the trail requires that you climb down to the river in places but this is made easier by steps cut into the rock. When you get there you are rewarded with a natural pool and swim area. This is a remote location and there are no bathrooms and no potable water. Bring anything with you that you may wish to eat or drink. It is great for couples or for families. You will have an uphill trek to make the one-mile trip back to the parking lot.

Enjoyed taking an afternoon hike around the boulders and to the waterfall. The trails aren't well marked. You can explore in your own. The trails are rocky and have exposed tree roots. My dog and I were able to navigate them.

Pisgah falls in Alabama is a very beautiful hike. With 3 waterfalls to explore it's a must see. GPS gets you close. Most reviews I've read , GPS takes you to the ball field about 500 feet to far. You want to go to the civitan park right before to ball field. The trail are behind the pavilion . We took our 4 year old grandson he did wonderful. Beautiful place to take pictures. .
