Owens Creek Waterfall
A small seasonal waterfall on Owens Creek at milepost 52.4 of the Natchez Trace Parkway near Hermanville, at the southern terminus of the Rocky Springs Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. Because its spring source has dried up, it flows only after heavy rainfall.
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 (Natchez Trace Parkway) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
