We stayed in Meridian for a night during our road trip, and were pleasantly surprised by this…read morehidden gem! The park is very well maintained with plenty of parking. The lake was huge and has boat ramps. We saw some locals fishing on the lake. There are also plenty of trails available for hiking and mountain biking. We only had time to explore one of the trails in the woods and were lucky enough to see so many wild lives such as deer, armadillos and fireflies! I would be here daily if I live in Meridian.

This park is a freaking gem and should be a state park based on how maintained and organized it is…read more There's a large reservoir with lights that is very family friendly. There are also miles of trails / mountain bike trails in the woods surrounding the water that is decently maintained and marked. The trails remind me of a Lone Star Trail or Huntsville State Park and are easy enough for a family to walk through but interesting enough to mountain bike or trail run through. It smells like the piney woods and still feels wild enough inside the forest to make it fun and interesting. We saw a bunch of wildlife; deer, armadillos, fireflies, etc on the hike and did not get to explore all of it. There's also boat launches and easy and free public parking. A great spot if you're ever in Meridian or if you live here, you better be here 5 times a week.

Most of the sites do not include sewage because of the proximity to the river but there is a dump station at the trading post. There is also a bathroom and shower and a laundry. The rates are not expensive and on the low end. There are also kayak rentals. Nice place to stay.

This has been the highlight of our trip here to Jackson!!!…read more If I could give them TEN+ STARS I would!! Hubby and I have been wanting to see if kayaking would be a new retirement endeavor for us... now after all we learned today, IT IS! I wish Chris could get a commission on the kayaks we will buy sometime soon. He is such a great ambassador for the sport as well as the environment. Chris is an intelligent young man with great patience as well. He is truly a people person! His college education is a perfect fit for educating his clients on the eco system of the area. We found him so fascinating to listen to. We saw so much wild life, flora & fauna and Chris was able to speak about what was indigenous to the area, and how what wasn't got there. If you haven't kayaked before, his expertise is what you want. Even if you can't swim, you will love doing this! The kayaks are very forgiving and didn't tip at all. The water is very shallow so even IF you tipped over (I don't know how you could ) just stand up! When you go, be sure to use sunblock & bug spray. He also chose the 'sit-on' kayaks which were perfect for our weight and ability. Chris is a very quick responder on text messages and soooo very informative to help get you the best appointment. Our's was 9am today, the cool morning air and calm water made for a wonderful trip in our first kayak adventure!

While here, also take a moment to read the historical Mississippi Blues plaque located just by the parking lot. I would definitely recommend a visit here at Crystal Lake if you are in the Flowood, Mississippi area. It wasn't too busy, but it was a Tuesday at about four o'clock in the afternoon. There were a few people here and they also were just enjoying the tranquility. I would definitely recommend a visit here to Crystal Lake if you are in the Flowood, Mississippi area. I will give Crystal Lake five stars as an overall grade.
