Clark Creek Waterfalls
Mississippi's tallest waterfalls tumble through steep loess ravines at Clark Creek — a surprising and rewarding backcountry waterfall network in the Deep South.
About this spectacle
Clark Creek Natural Area in southwest Mississippi harbors a network of streams cutting through steep ravines carved into loess bluffs, producing a series of waterfalls and cascades that are among the tallest in Mississippi. Visitors hike wooded trails through dense hardwood and pine forest, crossing creek beds and scrambling along hillsides to discover plunge pools and tiered falls hidden in the hollows. The sound of rushing water accompanies nearly every step, and the gorge environment stays noticeably cool and humid even in summer. In winter and spring when water levels are highest, the falls roar with impressive force, while autumn strips the canopy to reveal the full scale of the bluff terrain. The rugged, trail-networked landscape rewards explorers willing to navigate uneven ground with intimate waterfall discoveries rather than a single grand overlook.
