Dickson keeps its waterfalls small and close, most of them tied to the Natchez Trace. Jackson Falls waits four tenths of a mile below the parkway, dog friendly, with 200 feet to climb coming back. Eagle Falls measures 44 feet, and getting there means walking a moderate mile and a half. Rattlesnake Falls gains 300 feet across its two miles. Marcella stays easy with the dog in tow.
