Clark Creek Natural Area

Waterfalls? In Mississippi? Of course..

Clark Creek Natural Area of southwestern Mississippi is one of the Magnolia State's most beautiful outdoor treasures. Comprising more than 2,000 acres, this Natural Area has about 40 waterfalls (though you'll find only 6 along established trails), ranging from 10 to more than 25 feet in height.

Clark Creek's steeply sloping hills host a mixed hardwood and pine forest dominated by beech and magnolia. Here, visitors discover a variety of colorful migrating and resident birds; invertebrates; poisonous snakes; a rare land snail; the federally endangered Carolina magnolia vine; a state endangered fish, the Southern red belly dace. This forested tract also provides excellent habitat for another threatened species in Mississippi -- the black bear.

The terrain at Clark Creek is physically demanding and visitors should be medically fit. Clark Creek is located in a somewhat remote part of the county, medical and other assistance can be a long way off. Be certain to be careful. WATCH YOUR FOOTING ALONG STEEP TRAILS AND AROUND THE WATERFALLS !

There is no potable water at Clark Creek, and users should plan to take plenty on any outing. A compass and topographic map are recommended before venturing off established tracts at Clark Creek.

Please help keep the Clark Creek Natural Area clean. Pack out all trash and disposable items. Help the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks maintain this unique area in a pristine condition for future generations of outdoor-loving Mississippians.

Bird-watching, hiking, photography and botanizing are encouraged at Clark Creek on established trails. Hunting is not allowed on the property. Camping and motorized vehicles are not allowed.
