Where the Waterfalls Are
Collins sits in or near the East-Central Hills and Piney Woods area of Mississippi. In eastern and southern Mississippi, rolling hills covered in pine and hardwood forest are cut by creeks that occasionally spill over resistant beds. Dunns Falls, near Meridian in Lauderdale County, is the state's most visited listed waterfall, a drop tied to a nineteenth-century mill site. It is privately operated, so hours and access vary. Seminary Falls in Covington County, near Collins in the southern pine belt, is a lesser-known local site. Both falls are best after periods of steady rain, when the creeks feeding them run high and the water spills fully across the drop. Read the Mississippi waterfall guide.
