Here are my directions: 
1) Get yourself to Blountsville by any means. 
2) Locate the intersection of C.R. 26 and U.S. 231 in Blountsville.  
There is an auto repair place on the south-west side of the  
intersection. 
3) Proceed south (probably right for most people) on U.S. 231 less  
than five miles. If you hit AL-79, you have gone to far.  
4) About 1/2 miles BEFORE AL-79 you will pass an yellow intersection  
+ sign. Slow down and take a look. Is it missing a road name marker  
on both sides? If yes, then it is Mardis Mill Rd. For further  
confirmation, there is currently a white sign advertising the sale  
of Angel's Trumpet at the intersection. Turn left onto Mardis Mill  
Rd.  
5) You will cross AL-79, but go straight and stay on Mardis Mill Rd.  
Check mailboxes to verify you are on the correct road. You should  
pass at least one pond after the AL-79 intersection. 
6) You will encounter a concrete bridge over a creek. It looks  
crummy. It probably is. Look to your right, and you should locate  
the drop of the falls.  
7) Parking appears to be in the rocky area to the left, after the  
bridge. The trail to the falls is immediately oppose the rocky area.  
       
       
I did NOT get a photograph of the falls because: 
1) The falls is most definately on private property. 
2) The property owner or an adjacent property owner had cut and was  
burning brush, presumably for construction. With the dry weather, I  
decided that parking my car near, or worse, going down a narrow path  
near an open flame was probably not the safest course of action. I  
wish people wouldn't open burn when the weather is so dry, if at  
all.  
3) The sun was backlighting the falls, so it would have been  
impossible to get a decent shot. This is a very early morning or  
afternoon falls because of the angle of the falls. No mid-morning  
shooting, as far as I can tell.  
       
       
If anybody gets a shot they'd be willing to share, I'd put it up.
