Spend The Day Exploring Dozens Of Waterfalls In Mississippi’s Clark Creek Natural Area

Waterfalls are far and few between here in Mississippi. However, there is one place they exist in abundance, and it’s Clark Creek Natural Area. Like something from another world, the natural area is brimming with dozens of waterfalls – and that’s in addition to other rare sights, like boulders and other big rock formations.

With more than 50 falls, Clark Creek Natural Area in Woodville is a waterfall wonderland.

It’s the only place in the state you’ll find such a high concentration of waterfalls.

The waterfalls, which range from 10 to more than 30 feet in height, are scattered throughout the 700-acre natural area.

As an added bonus, some of the cascades create shallow pools, which make perfect swimming holes.

Some of the falls only appear after a heavy rain, while others flow a bit more frequently.

Though a far cry from Niagara Falls, the waterfalls in Clark Creek Natural Area are stunning nonetheless.

The more dependable falls are marked on the natural area’s map.

As you can see from the map, most of the falls are situated along the park’s primitive and improved trails. Not all of the cascades are so easy to access, though. Take note of the waterfalls scattered about the map.

A plethora of waterfalls isn’t the only thing that makes Clark Creek Natural Area unique, though.

It actually boasts several other rare sights.

Living up to its reputation as “one of the Magnolia State's most beautiful outdoor treasures,” its landscape is stunning – and one that’s not mimicked anywhere else in the state.

An oasis like no other, the natural area is filled with steeply sloping bluffs, trees and flora uncommon to the state, and moss-covered boulders.

Can't wait to explore Clark Creek Natural Area and the waterfalls that fill it? There are a few things to keep in mind.

First, the natural area is extremely remote, which means medical assistance is a long way off, so it's important to use caution when exploring the waterfalls. Second, make sure to bring along water, especially during the hot days of summer.
