Waterfall Hikes Near Tuscaloosa, AL

Five falls turn up within range of Tuscaloosa, and the data on most of them runs thin. Peavine Falls in Oak Mountain State Park at Pelham, east of town, is the dependable outing: Alabama State Parks puts it at about 65 feet, several park trails lead to it, and the last stretch down to its base is steep. Dogs can come along on a leash no longer than six feet under state park rules. University Falls, the closest entry, is a historical name on the Black Warrior River in town rather than a hike, and Davis, Weaver and Village Falls are listed without trail details.
