Tunica Falls, technically called Clark Creek Nature Area, is about 30 minutes' drive from St Francisville. The pleasant, hilly trails here wind past lovely waterfalls – the main draw for hikers. Crude maps can be found at the general store in Pond, MS (at Hwys 24 and 969), the town where the trailhead is located and in which you can park.
