Recent rains are certainly feeding the headwaters of Smith Lake from the Sipsey Fork river along with the many creeks, streams and runoffs that wind into the lake. While waters are moving this much, you’ll notice the surface of Smith Lake is muddy in color, but it clears quickly and nicely when rains taper off and are not as frequent and heavy. In the meantime, enjoy the beauty of full flowing waterfalls of William B. Bankhead National Forest through gorgeous photography from seasoned hikers by following tags like #sipseywilderness and #bankheadnationalforest . 〰️〰️🌧〰️〰️ “Yesterday was such a great day to be in the wilderness. I never grow tired of being in Turkey foot canyon and seem to notice something different each time I visit.” - 📷 @matt_matt75 #turkeyfootfalls #sipseywilderness #bankheadnationalforest #waterfall #waterfalls #chasingwaterfalls #landofathousandwaterfalls 〰️〰️💦〰️〰️ #smithlakebackroads #smithlakearea #hiking #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Lewis Smith Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxQG31raaE/?igshid=m0ckrjwsvpit
