About

30,000 acres of exploration at Arkabutla Lake means whether you want solitude or a rocking good time with your tribe, the park’s got you covered! Hike along the serene Swinging Bridge Nature Trail where azaleas fill the forest floor or take your horse out to the Sunfish Bay Trail. There are lush hardwood forests and cool rivers to explore all over the place! And while you might not think of Mississippi for world class sailing, it’s in abundance here and you can sail till the sun sinks into the lake. Little ones can even check out the unique Spirit of America youth boating education programs. There are glamp grounds galore, spots with water views, plenty of picnic spots, and so much fishing you’ll have to be dragged away from the lake shore. You can count on Arkabutla to provide a weekends worth of rad adventures no matter the season.
