(Photos above and the following description were provided by New Southern View Magazine.) "On the Chunky River there is a 65-foot water fall created in the mid 1850's by John Dunn, an Irish immigrant, to power a grist mill. The falls, created by diverting a stream that flowed 70 yards from a bluff, cascades over the craggy bluff only to be tamed by the calm, quiet Chunky. The crystal clear river offers fishing, canoeing and swimming. A short walk removes visitors from even a nod to civilization, as nature trails wind through the woods which are home to wild turkey, deer, squirrels and other wildlife, carrying hikers - eventually - back to the pond. There is one cabin available for rental. Primitive camping sites are available for those who like to rough it. Paddleboats are also available for rental."
You can swim in the creek below the falls (at your own risk). There used to be a swimming area with beach above the river in the mill's holding pond, but no longer as of 2009. You can still slide down into the river from below the mill pond.Courtesy of swimmingholes.org
