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 we were there.
