Enjoyed walking around here. The falls were nice and so was the grist mill. Lady at ticket booth was very friendly and helpful. Just off interstate, and not long hike. Had hiking trails also and a nice fishing lake. Grounds were very clean. The wood is getting in need if repair. Price was very reasonable. Might need to raise it a little to get money to up grade the wood stairs down to the bottom of the falls.
This little place is worth the stop! Just a few minutes off the interstate. If you take the stairs down the bottom of the falls, you can get in the water. You can get fish food to feed the fish, too. The kids will love it. I highly suggest taking a few and checking it out.
You know those signs on the side of the road for attractions...stop! This was a gem to find! Not only is it beautiful and easy to get to, but it's a Boy Scout and public campground.
If you like the outdoors and water and are physically able to walk to the base of the waterfall, this place is a must see! Bring bug spray, sunscreen and a towel!!!
Place is very nice and quiet with beautiful scenery and story behind it. Absolutely enjoyed stopping in
$3.25/ a person Great price for great view. Plus there's fishing if that's what you're into!
A nice little place to go see a waterfall, take beautiful pictures, relax, fish and you can also camp there Restrooms: They have nice clean bathrooms Picnic area: They have a couple of places you can picnic with your family or by yourself.
Beautiful, calm, just lovely. Hot day, but breezy, shady and perfect.
Not a water park. It’s a rustic historical site that allows you to get up close to historical artifacts. Wide, peaceful hiking trails along the river. Not fancy and needs a little maintenance but worth a visit. Very picturesque. Went here on March 21, 2020 and was not disappointed. It was $3.25 per person to get in. We toured the grounds and took a trip down the boardwalk by the lake to the picnic area. Very tranquil. We then explored the first two levels of the old grist mill. Very neat old relics of the past were on display in both levels. The views from the windows were scenic as well. After travelling down the flight of stairs to the bottom which were at times a little steep, we made it to the main attraction. We walked out onto the plateau beneath the waterfall and stared at its majesty. If not for the mill and water wheel, you would think this was a natural waterfall. We spent a while taking photos and videos of the falls and the nearby Chunky river, then we hoofed it onto the hiking trail nearby. The trail is a beaten footpath through the woods running beside the Chunky river. There were a couple of spots with downed trees and washout, but we navigated through or around them. The end of the trail is the Boy Scout camping area. Not much there except a nice view of the Chunky river just before it takes its bend towards Dunns Falls. Another place to check out nearby is Stuckey's Bridge. It's about a 20 minute drive northwest of Dunns Falls. It is a pretty old iron bridge across the Chunky river from the early 1900s. It has a history and is supposedly haunted, but we didn't experience anything while we were there.
Driving through we discovered this very unique and off the beaten path destination. A few miles off the interstate you arrive to what looks unassuming and desolate. We were greeted by an employee that was very friendly and she explained it’d be three dollars and a quarter for each to enter, thought it was a little funny about the quarter but I guess it all adds up. At first we thought this was going to be a 10 minute look around but we were pleasantly surprised there was much more. From the mill to the waterfalls to the surrounding walking paths there’s plenty to venture for a few hours. I’d recommend stopping by if you’re in the area for a quick visit.
