Guntersville Alabama ROAD TRIP! Stone Arch, Red Mill Falls, High Falls & Buck's Pocket Viewpoint

For this road trip, we visit 4 scenic locations in northeast Alabama near the town of Guntersville. These natural road-side attractions include a stone arch or bridge (Honeycomb Stone Bridge) , a pair of lovely waterfalls near an old mill (Red Mill Falls), a giant waterfall (High Falls Park) and an almost drive-up viewpoint into a deep valley (Buck's Pocket's Jim Lynn Overlook viewpoint).

The first site visited is a lovely natural stone arch, called Honeycomb Natural Bridge and a small waterfall next to it called Ghost Creek Falls. These features are on private property just off of US Highway 431 northwest of Guntersville, but the public are welcome to view the site respectfully and the features are easily visible from the road. This is absolutely worth driving by to admire if you are in the area.

Next, we drove over Lake Guntersville and through the town of Guntersville itself on our way to see the Red Mill or Two Bridges falls, which are actually several small waterfalls at the confluence of two streams and the site of a historic mill.

After enjoying these literally road-side waterfalls, we hopped back on the road and drove up to see one of our favorites, High Falls Park. This one requires getting out of the car and taking a short walk down to the falls, but it is definitely well worth the effort being one of the most impressive waterfalls in all of Alabama.

Finally, we drove the short distance from High Falls Park to Buck’s Pocket State Park’s Jim Lynn Overlook viewpoint. A gorgeous view into the valley off a narrow rock ledge only a short walk from the parking area. Definitely worth stopping in to visit anytime you are in the area.

At this point, you could loop back to Guntersville through Guntersville State Park, right on lake Guntersville, but our business took us the other direction today. We’ll save Guntersville State Park for another day.
