Go chase a waterfall here in Mississippi | Lifestyles

I felt a pang of envy last week as I watched news coverage of the picturesque town of Pomfret, Vt. Attracting thousands of tourists from around the world is an abundance of fall foliage in vibrant colors of orange, yellow and green. One of the most sought-after spots is a private residence located in a valley called Sleepy Hollow Farm. As I watched the footage of tourists lining up in search of the perfect selfie (before being chased away by law enforcement), I felt a little sad that I wouldn’t witness anything as beautiful without a trip up north.

Then it hit me that, while Mississippi is not on the self-proclaimed leaf peepers’ must-see list, we do have plenty of natural beauty in our state, including several waterfalls in picturesque spots. You read that right — there are close to 10 waterfalls in Mississippi. Most are in obscure areas but worth the drive — and a whole lot closer than Vermont.
