Sunday and the week following will be beautiful with dryer weather, perfect for outdoor adventure! Do you know the difference between Tunica Hills and Tunica Falls/Clark Creek? Clark Creek is sometimes called Tunica Falls; hence, Tunica Hills and Tunica Falls are often confused. However, if you’re in the mood for chasing waterfalls, trails, and adventure, both parks are worth a visit. Batonrougefamilyfun.com/tunica-hills-clark-creek
