Dunkley Falls is a 10 to 12 foot waterfall on Mill Creek near Wevertown, off Route 28 between Wevertown and Warrensburg. From the roadside pull-off on Harrington Road, look for a sign reading No Littering $500 Fine and the obvious trail beside it. Walk past the large rocks to a fire ring and metal grill, take the trail to the left, and follow it a short distance to the top of the falls. Several paths cross here. The way down to the base needs care and is slippery when wet. Who owns the land is not stated; there is no official trailhead sign. The route description dates from 2021.
