Mississippi’s Scenic Waterfall Loop Will Take You To 4 Different Waterfalls
The Magnolia State is full of wonderful sights, including waterfalls. There aren’t many; however, they do exist and are scattered throughout the state. We decided to focus on a few concentrated falls, so that you can easily visit several in one day. So buckle up and get ready for an unforgettable adventure.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Of course, you can always extend your adventure, which you’ll likely want to do, as each fall is brimming with beauty AND opportunities for fun.
This 25-acre park may be small in size, but it’s got plenty to offer, including a small waterfall and old-fashioned, spring-fed swimming hole. The grounds also include picnic tables and a sand and rock creek-side beach. Bring along your suit and an early-morning snack and have some fun before continuing on your journey.

Recreational opportunities abound at this natural water park. It’s centered around the Strong River, which is known for its leisurely flow and several small falls. Not surprisingly, it’s a top choice for swimming, canoeing, and kayaking. The park offers complete canoe outfitting and shuttle service as well as campsites and cabins, making it easy to extend your time at this natural gem. For more information, click here.
You’ll definitely want to explore the state’s tallest fall on your waterfall-inspired journey – and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Dunn’s Falls Park. The park’s namesake fall stands at a towering 65 feet and can be viewed a couple of different ways. Visitors can take it in from above or descend a set of stairs and wade in the cool waters at its base. The park also includes a historic grist mill, picnic area, and nature trails.

This secluded cascade is easily the state’s most conspicuous, which makes a visit that much more special. Though hidden from plain sight, it can be easily accessed with just a short walk along a well beaten path. Once you arrive, simply take in its splendor or hop in the pool below for a refreshing end to your journey.
