Owens Creek Waterfall
The sounds of a busy woodland stream and the quiet murmur of a lazy waterfall have long
been stilled here. Only after heavy rainfall does water fill the stream. Over the years the
water table has dropped several feet, and the spring which feeds Owens Creek has all but
disappeared. Little remains of a scene once familiar to early residents of the
Rocky Springs community.

Owens Creek is the southern terminus of the Rocky Springs Section of the Natchez
Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is available to hikers. You can start here and
hike 6 miles north to the northern terminus of the Rocky Springs Section of the Natchez
Trace National Scenic Trail. This area can be unstable due to erosion. Please check
trail conditions before hiking and respect all trail closures.
(National Park Service)
Normally, this waterfall is just a trickle,
but after a 2+ inch rain the nightr before, this was the result!
