Waterfalls in Mississippi are rare. Waterfalls in Mississippi that are over 10’ tall are even rarer, which is part of what makes Dunn’s Falls so special.

Located in south Lauderdale County, this breathtaking 65’ waterfall is situated within Dunn’s Falls Water Park and because of such, is incredibly easy to access. The park also offers a ton of amenities, including a picnic area, barbecue grills, and campsites, making Dunn’s Falls the perfect destination for everything from an all day outing to an overnight adventure.

The naturally occurring bluffs along the eastern bank of the river seem like the ideal spot for a waterfall to form; however, Dunn’s Falls is actually man-made.
