Sipsey River Picnic Area

This place is an absolute Heaven on Earth! It's so peaceful and quiet, the falls are very relaxing, and the path is an easy-medium difficulty.

Absolutely gorgeous any time of the year. We hiked trail 200, the Borden Creek trail. Wildflowers are beginning to bloom. Every little drainage had a waterfall. This is a federally designated wilderness area. Groups size is limited to 10 persons. Dogs must be leashed. And please, Leave No Trace. Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints.

One of the most rewarding hikes I've ever been on. Minimum three very full tall waterfalls, the Sipsey Fork River was full and a beautiful shade of blue/green, a gigantic tree had fallen and crushed a shelter area, and another tree was struck by lightning and you could see the patterns on it. Beauty at every turn. The trail is also very easy to follow, but you definitely want to have hiking boots, and if you're going after a rain, hiking poles might be useful for balance. Highly recommended! I went February 26th 2022 after we had about a week of rain. Can't wait to go back in the spring when there are more leaves on the trees and it's a bit sunnier. There is a $3 parking fee, so bring cash. It's the least we can do to keep nature like this preserved for future generations.

don't make the same mistake i did. the first falls is turkey foot. keep on following the creek to mize mill. i stop at turkey foot and got talking and forgot all about mize mill. either way i love the trail and fall even in January when i hiked it.
