Enterprise, Mississippi is a tiny little town home to about 500 people... definitely not a "destination town" where you dream about spending your vacation, but it is home to a very special, scenic spot that deserves an afternoon visit. Dunn's Falls Waterpark has a very unique history that dates back to the 1800s, and it just so happens to be home to the tallest waterfall in Mississippi. Gas up the car and check this waterfall out ASAP!
Nestled against the Chunky River, Dunn’s Falls Waterpark is a perfect spot for anyone seeking a breath of fresh air and maybe a refreshing soak in the water.
The crown jewel of the park is Dunn’s Falls, a waterfall that was created by John Dunn in the 1850s to power a gristmill that was actually moved from Cave Springs, Georgia in 1987 and relocated here, at the site of Dunn’s original mill.
The park is also a nature preserve, with several nature trails and picnic tables peppered around
Bring some snacks and spend some time admiring the scenic surroundings.
The waterfall cascades down 65 feet, earning it the top honor of being the tallest waterfall in Mississippi!
Feel free to explore the waterfall from the ground...
...or get a bird's eye view from up above!
Just be careful! Things can get slippery.
There's even a fishing pond stocked with catfish, and several picturesque swimming areas within the park.
Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day, right? If you want to extend your visit, there are a few primitive campsites where you can pitch a tent and spend a night sleeping under the stars.
