Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check National Park Service (Little River Canyon National Preserve) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Grace's High Falls drops about 133 feet. That makes it the 138th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 80% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
Access is documented as roadside. No trail distance is on record for Grace's High Falls. The nearest town is Fort Payne. Confirm access and land status with National Park Service (Little River Canyon National Preserve) before setting out — some documented falls have no public route at all.
Winter and spring; often dry in summer. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
