Most people who visit this part of the Homochitto National Forest do so for either camping or lakefront activities. The lake here is typical of Mississippi lakes which is to say that it is beautiful, filled with fish and if you really want, you can swim in it. Surrounding the lake there are several picnic tables, shelters and permanently mounted charcoal grills. The lake has an area sectioned off for swimming, but let me warn you, this is no swimming pool. While I haven't personally swam in this lake, I have swam in many like it. Feel a little nibble while you're swimming? That's not your girlfriend, that's a perch. If you think that will freak you out, don't swim here. All of the stuff I just wrote about is great, but it is not why I visited here. My visit was a result of a guy at work telling me all about the dirt roads that run throughout the forest. Since it was a holiday weekend I couldn't get a map to find the roads so I just set out exploring. If dirt roads are what you are interested in, this is the section of the park to find them. Right before you come to the area to pay your fee there will be a gravel road toward your left. Do yourself a favor and follow it. The roads that traverse this park offer an amazing journey. There are actually several different roads, many of which my GPS picked up. The roads were labeled with numbers, but the main one was listed as Wagon Wheel Road on my GPS. Since the roads are gravel even a car can pass easily, but a truck or 4x4 would allow you to do what I did. Along the gravel roads there are many smaller dirt roads. I believe they are all part of the national forest road system, but they are not labeled. They are also more difficult to traverse and some even required high ground clearance and four wheel drive. I spent hours exploring this forest. During that time I never saw any other people. It was very peaceful. So why would anyone want to drive through a great expanse of forest on a dirt road? If you have to ask, this is probably not the place for you. If you enjoy this sort of thing, this is a great place to get away from it all.

A group of us took a trip here this past weekend. It was picturesque. We did hiking, mtn biking and…read moreswam in the lake. I strongly recommend it. We tent camped by the lake, but there are primitive sites way off the beaten track. It is a large forest with 20+ miles of trails. They were well marked along the trail itself but hard to find when you are crossing over the fire roads and connectors. We spent half the day on the trails and would have kept going if we would have brought more supplies. We only found the Richardson Trail worth biking and the pine smell and rolling hills were well worth all the energy we exerted. The Mill Road is a nice hike, just very rooty. Tally's is closed at the camping entrance, but we had to take it to connect to the Richardson for biking- it is also rooty. Highly recommend this spot! Note You can't make camping reservations early and RVs are not allowed.

The bathhouse provide you the basics but to no fault of the park are not great, its a money issue. Overall nice place but needed to be honest about the need for repairs.

It is always difficult to find time for exercise while you're traveling, but what a relief taking the Yin yoga class taught by GSHA owner Bonnie Shaw. This class was just what I needed after traveling in an airplane and sleeping on an air mattress. Bonnie leads you through the poses giving you options for different levels in an inviting beautiful studio. It is in a wonderfully restored Mc Comb home, one of many in this small, history rich town. And to add to the experience, Bonnie is a Reiki master, something I did not expect to find in Mc Comb. As you are going through the poses, Bonnie gives you individual attention with her healing hands. If you have never experienced Reiki, let me tell you, feeling is believing! Treat yourself! Guaranteed you will feel better leaving than when you went in and with continued practice, it only gets better! Thanks GSHA and Bonnie. I know for my next visit in Mc Comb, I will have a place to rejuvenate!
