Sougahoagdee Falls
Sougahoagdee Falls is a wide curtain-style waterfall in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, part of north Alabama's 'Land of 1,000 Waterfalls' on the southern Cumberland Plateau. The trail follows the river for most of its length and passes several smaller falls; reported heights vary, so the exact drop is left unverified.
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 USDA Forest Service (William B. Bankhead National Forest) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
No measured height is on record for Sougahoagdee Falls in the land-manager and survey sources this inventory draws on. We list it without a height rather than estimating one.
The Sougahoagdee Falls Trail reaches it about 3.4 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 337 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Moulton. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with USDA Forest Service (William B. Bankhead National Forest) for closures and current conditions.
Winter through spring (highest flow). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
