Dunn's Falls Park — Attraction in Meridian

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...

Looking to do something off the beaten path?! This park might just be for you! It's a great location to go enjoy this historic mill and the beautiful flora and fauna that surrounds this beautiful location. Simply put, its peacefully isolated. It has an accessible mill house to explore the manner these mills were laid out. its built on a beautiful ledge next to the falls where you get to see the cascading waterfall empty into the Chunky River. You'll know your in the wild by simply listening to the sounds of birds and rustling trees above. The park some short nature trails that are long enough to wind through the woods where its home to birds of the region, including wild turkey, squirrels, and deer. You're more likely to run into these jittery critters here than the parks closer to the city because if it weren't for this mill, there would be nothing but nature and a beautiful clear river running through this area. You can swim, fish, and even canoe in this stretch of river. Up on the edge there's some picnic tables and grills for having a beautiful family outing. It is certainly quiet out here and for those that truly want...

Very neat place to checkout. They have parking for semis/straight trucks if you want to stop for a few minutes and check things out. A little off the highway so no restrooms or showers available. However, they do have a Cabin available for daily/weekly/monthly rental and some primitive camping locations on the grounds. There is a small lake that the water flows over the waterfall that was created for this Mill. Fishing is available in the lake or down at the river, 92 steps down to the river. Make sure you have water boots if you want to walk on the rocks as the water would flood tennis shoes. Swimming is available in the creek/river but it does say not recommended due to the shallow rocky waters. You won't be disappointed for stopping even if just for a 30 minute break.

Cost is $3.25 per person and they take credit cards (except AMEX).

Open Wednesday thru Sunday 9am - 5pm, Closed Monday &...
