Alabama is filled with many natural wonders. While some of these are well known and visited by many, others aren’t and are considered underrated. One of Alabama’s most underrated natural wonders is the White Cliffs of Epes, which you can read all about below.
Take a look:
The White Cliffs of Epes is located on the Tombigbee River in Epes, Alabama - a tiny town in Sumter County.

Stretching for approximately one mile, this group of historic cliffs is made from layers of the Selma Chalk Formation. Over time, this natural wonder has become more and more exposed due to the rushing river water. Today, it stands about 30 feet above water.

One of the most interesting facts about the White Cliffs of Epes is that the cliffs were deposited around the same time as England’s White Cliffs of Dover, which are approximately 70 million years old.
