Mint Spring Bayou Falls
A cascade dividing Upper and Lower Mint Spring Bayou within Vicksburg National Military Park, reported at roughly 30 ft (about 10 m). The surrounding terrain is steep and unstable, and the area has been effectively off-limits due to dangerous footing.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check National Park Service (Vicksburg National Military Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mint Spring Bayou Falls drops about 30 feet. That makes it the 546th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 23% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
Access is documented as backcountry. No trail distance is on record for Mint Spring Bayou Falls. The nearest town is Vicksburg. Confirm access and land status with National Park Service (Vicksburg National Military Park) before setting out — some documented falls have no public route at all.
Winter and spring. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
