Stetson.A mill, which dates back to 1857, is on-site and available for touring. The historic building is full of tools that were used to operate the 19th-century mill.

The trail begins at the top of Dunn’s Falls, offering exceptional views of the Chunky River below.

You’ll also be treated to close-up views of the iconic water wheel in action.

A peaceful, idyllic spot, it’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Everyone from history buffs to nature lovers is sure to enjoy the scenic overlook.

Once you’ve finished taking in the stunning surroundings, begin your journey to the bottom of the waterfall.

Simply follow the steps to make your descent.

The staircase leads straight into the cool, flowing waters of the Chunky River.

Since the water isn't too deep near the waterfall, you can walk right up to it...

...which means exceptional views are practically guaranteed.

A great place to spend a summer day, the crystal clear river is perfect for fishing, canoeing, and swimming.

Even better, the water park offers boat and paddleboat rentals, so all you have to bring is yourself!

Don't want your fun to end when the day does? No problem; there's also a cabin as well as primitive campsites.
