Adventure to Peavine Falls at Oak Mountain State Park
For breathtaking views and an invigorating outdoor experience, Peavine Falls at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham is a top destination. This scenic spot features a captivating waterfall nestled within steep mountain trails that challenge even seasoned hikers. Visitors are advised to wear sturdy, closed-toe boots to safely navigate the steep descents and ascents that characterize the hike to the falls.
The trail offers two routes: a shorter, more intense path on the right that leads directly to the waterfall’s base, and a longer, less steep option on the left that provides access to the top. Both paths reward hikers with stunning natural beauty and the chance to experience the park’s rugged landscape up close. Friendly dogs often accompany visitors on the trails, adding to the welcoming outdoor community. Access to the park requires an entrance fee, but the opportunity to witness this beautiful waterfall and enjoy the surrounding wilderness makes Peavine Falls a must-visit for nature lovers exploring the Pelham area.

6 months agoGO RIGHT! From the parking lot, there is a trail to a bench from the bench it forks left and right. The right leads to the bottom of the falls and the left to the top. Google maps said to go left and that was wrong. We had to hike an hour to the top and back to get to the bottom. This is a nice waterfall. It was beautiful. You had to pay to get into the park. This is very steep. I would not recommend if you have small baby's or toddlers or are elderly.

6 months agoI was so hopeful for this. The reviews are so promising, but I'm EXTREMELY disappointed. The parking has terrible markers so you really have no clue where you're going. The trails are NOT kid friendly.. you get to the top and there are two trails, a white trail and a blue trail, the white trail goes to the top of the waterfall but you CAN NOT see any off the water from up there, and the white trail is EXTREMELY steep. The blue trail is a little quicker to the bottom of the waterfall and a LITTLE less steep, but still a LOT of rocks and logs that you have to menuver around or hop over, and has random steep walkways. And the waterfall isn't worth pretty much an hour hike. They waterfall was terrible, barely any water, maybe it's the wrong time of year. But there should be signs and warnings telling you what seasons not to go during. We brought our almost 2 year old daughter thinking it would be a good family trail based on some reviews, but no. Don't go unless you like wild hiking trails or dirt biking. And don't come with little kids. ðŸ˜

3 years agoCute little waterfall on the mountain!! The hike to get to it was very steep (whether you took the left or right path down). If you stay on the trail and continue to stay on the right path, it will be the shorter route but dangerously steep route where you’ll basically be climbing up/down the side of the mountain haha. Be warned! The longer route is also steep but thankfully not as crazy as the short route. Lots of friendly dogs on the trails :) please wear proper closed toed shoes and stay safe!!
