Indian Falls is an approximately 50-foot waterfall near a 100-foot-long rock shelter at the start of the Borden Creek Trail in the Sipsey Wilderness of Bankhead National Forest. The canyon hike passes sandstone walls and the well-known Fat Man's Squeeze rock passage.
Its 50 ft drop is taller than about 42% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by Borden Creek. It lies in Lawrence, Alabama. The site is on public land managed by Sipsey Wilderness, William B. Bankhead National Forest (USFS).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Reaching it takes a moderate walk, so budget time and pack water before you set out. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 5.1 miles round trip. The nearest town is Double Springs.
When to go: Spring (Mar-May). Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
