There’s always something new to discover in Mississippi, and if you have yet to discover the Chunky River, you’re missing out! Its clear, slow-moving waters make it a top choice for kayaking and canoeing. Even better, there’s an outfitter on the river, practically guaranteeing a hassle-free float.

One of the state’s shorter rivers, the Chunky River begins near the town of Chunky, MS and runs through several counties before coming to an end near Enterprise, MS.

The water park doesn’t rent kayaks or canoes, so you’ll have to bring your own.

The park has other perks, though, such as a picnic area, nature trails, and, the best part of all, it’s home to Dunn’s Falls, the state’s tallest waterfall.
