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.

I want to call this an interactive playground because the children, including my niece and nephew,…read morewere all playing with each other and entertained by the equipment. I believe the sole purpose of parks like this is to improve a child's socialization skills. As you can see from the pictures, the equipment wasn't your regular sliding board, seesaw, or swing set. The colors and the shapes of these items are to capture the child's eyes and lead to interaction. I don't know if I got any pictures, but musical instruments were place in the play area for the free spirit child. Also, there is a child museum on the grounds, which we didn't get a chance to visit, but the children had fun, and that was the goal.

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.

I didn't have Roosevelt State Park on my bookmarks list but I was driving past (this was my exit…read moreoff I-20) and noticed the three/four story observation tower. How could I resist the opportunity to climb up and get a look at the vicinity? The tower does have a lock on it, but in late afternoon it was open for tourists and so I made my way to the top. (Elevator appeared to be out of service.) There's a super view to the East and South from up here and since it was a clear day, I could literally see for miles and miles. The view to the West, which is where you might see Jackson MS, is blocked by mountain (hill?) and trees. A neat stop to stretch legs. I did not see any bathroom services here by the tower, but there's a gas station across the way.

We always try to get a spot on the lake with its ducks and beautiful grounds. We were only going to stay one night on our way to Colorado, but we're exhausted after traveling for two days. So we opted to stay the second nite. On Saturdays they have coffee on the porch from 9-10 am. We enjoyed meeting other campers with their doggies and sat and talked while we sipped our coffee. They have added a beautiful pool and kiddie play area. Of course Freckles enjoys her romp in the gated dog park. There are doggie waste bags along the roads, so you can walk your dogs. Some sites have enclosed patios with grills, tables and all the sites have fire pits. It is just delightful to sit outside by the lake and if you like you can catch and release fish. We're looking forward to grilling outside and having a fire. Tomorrow we will be on our way but the memories will stay with us forever!
