About Seminary Falls
Seminary Falls is a waterfall in Mississippi, on Okatoma Creek.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Seminary Falls 3.5/10 — one for the list. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Know what this listing is: a gentle ledge on Okatoma Creek near Seminary — inches to about a foot of drop — reached exclusively by canoe or kayak. No trail, no parking at the falls, no way to walk to it. The "236 feet" figure floating around online is its elevation above sea level mislabeled as a height.
The real attraction is the creek: the Okatoma is one of Mississippi's most popular paddling runs, sandy-bottomed with sandbars, served by outfitters in Seminary. Do it as a float trip, and the falls becomes one nice moment in a good day on the water.
