Bankhead National Forest sits just across the Alabama line from Fulton, and its canyons hold the water. Kinlock Falls draws the summer crowds, a fifteen-foot slide with a swimming hole at its base, reached by a third-mile path that welcomes dogs. Rainbow Falls demands the real effort, an 80-footer at the far end of 5.4 moderate miles. Parker Falls covers an easy mile and a half, and Quarter Creek Falls matches it. Parker Cascades adds a 2.2-mile option. Six falls land inside the fifty-mile cut.
