Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The striking Jackson Falls were created over thousands of years by flooding and erosion. Originally, the Jackson Branch River flowed through the valley in the Natchez Trace Parkway and was quite distinct from the Duck River below. However, over time, the Jackson Branch was diverted to form a new channel and became one with the Duck River. Today visitors will find a beautifully sculpted cascade of 3 waterfalls, the tallest of which is around 20 foot. The waterfalls are located close to the Rock Furnace Trail, but you will need to go off-trail to see them. There is a steep and somewhat slippery paved trail to the base of the falls.
