About Spillway Falls

Perched above the Tombigbee River, Spillway Falls Park captures the raw beauty of the cascading waters at Demopolis Lock and Dam. This scenic riverside retreat offers everything from peaceful birdwatching spots to well-maintained hiking trails, complete with picnic facilities, boat access, and the security of on-site hosts who ensure a safe, tranquil experience after dark.
The facility includes individual picnic shelters and a large group shelter; other campsite types are not specified.
Natural Features and SceneryThe park's crown jewel is its commanding view of the Tombigbee River as it tumbles over the Demopolis Lock and Dam, creating a mesmerizing waterfall display that draws both visitors and wildlife. The expansive river vistas and churning waters below have transformed this area into a haven for bird enthusiasts, where the diverse habitat attracts an ever-changing cast of feathered visitors throughout the seasons. Whether you're watching the morning mist rise off the falls or catching the golden hour light dancing across the water, the scenery here offers a front-row seat to nature's daily performance.
