Kinlock Falls after a rain storm |
|
Wren, AL |
| Kinlock Falls is well known to the locals and teenagers in the area. It is a great spot on a hot day to just go and hang out with some friends. Often the teenagers in the area use the falls as a giant waterslide. They have even rigged a rope on the side of the bluff to climb back up to the top. The water pool at the bottom is usually of good depth for even swimming. However, on a day like this picture was taken, the river should be revered and not used for swimming. | |
