I'm new here to the boards and I haven't seen anyone mention Parker Branch, I was wondering does anyone know anything about the trails over there. Planning on going there tomorrow.
Thanks for any info I can get.

Are you looking for a trail report or directions?
Both Alabama's Canyons and Walking Sipsey have information about this area. Alabama's Canyons should be available at the Warrior Mountain Trading Post in Wren/Moulton. They both offer the route approaching from the side on Kinlock Road, coming in near the county line. Other people semi-bushwhack in from the Randolph Trailhead. Neither route is an official trail, but you may find a trace to follow depending on which route you take.
I can't speak to conditions beyond to say I didn't see much storm damage until I got to the Kinlock Falls area, so it is iffy if there is any damage by Parker Branch Falls.

I'm sorry I did not make myself clear. I was looking for information on the condition of that area, I know that alot of damage was close but did not know just how close to this area it was.

It's feasible there's damage, I would bank on finding damage further downstream near the cascades, though.
