Where the Waterfalls Are
Mignon sits in or near the Birmingham Ridges and the Fall Line area of Alabama. South and east of Birmingham, the Appalachians break into parallel folded ridges before giving way to the Piedmont and then the coastal plain. Peavine Falls in Shelby County, a spring-fed drop of about 65 feet reached by a steep trail, is the standout here. Talladega County's falls lie along the ridges of the Talladega National Forest, while Great Falls in Lee County and the drops in Elmore and Tuscaloosa counties sit near the fall line, where rivers leave harder Piedmont rock for the softer sediments of the coastal plain. One historical waterfall near Tuscaloosa, University Falls, now lies beneath a reservoir. Read the Alabama waterfall guide.
