About

Right near the Mississippi-Alabama state line, Clarkco State Park is 815 acres of bonafide rolling woodlands. These unspoiled digs make it a coveted recreation spot that allows just about any sort of water recreation besides jet skiing.

Swing over for an afternoon of delight or spend the weekend. There is a five mile hiking trail, and it may be possible to score your very own pier on the water. Kids can participate in a fishing rodeo that will teach them the basics, and satisfy their voracious appetite for curiosity. The park staff is well-versed on direction to area attractions and annual events that take place throughout the summer.
