There were a few other people on the trail today, though no bikes. We even saw a tri-color Corgi-mix with beautiful blue eyes! The trail is very well marked, although I typically get lost around the washout, but that's me being stubborn. Sorry for the dead end footprints, y'all! Found my way quickly along the trail past the Day Use area this weekend - I didn't ask for directions, of course - and had a great workout. He's short and I'm old, so we make a great hiking team. Just sharing here - I picked up a set of bone conduction headphones and listened the book of Psalms while hiking through creation - it was a deeply spiritual day and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to share that moment here. Definitely check out the hiking trail, it's about 5 miles with only a couple mild - moderate climbs and makes for a nice Saturday adventure. Check out the little shops and stores in Folsom when you're done!

The cabin was amazing, very clean, well kept yet the rustic feel but with all of the amenities. The park was well kept and beautiful. We did trail rides both on Friday and Saturday through the forest and along the river. Our guide was amazing and the two horses we got to ride were perfect. My daughter is experienced, but I am not and both horses were perfectly trained even for an old man like me. We will be back for sure. Ignore the older reviews, the current management, husband and wife, were both some of the best people I've met in a long time and work hard to keep the cabins and grounds perfect.

(Literally, 2 barrels full) Weeds were grown up around the stalls and in the arena catch pens. (beer bottle thrown near the manure Ben) The grass was freshly cut, though. The people running the place did not greet us in the two days that we were there. The souvenir store was never opened. It was July 4th weekend and there was only 3 OTHER TRAILERS there on that big beautiful place. It's not the same since the new caretakers have taken over last year. You had to book way in advance just to secure a spot, no one is even there, now. We the ppl helped pay for this place with many stays and now we none feel welcome, anymore. It's an Empty facility now! Caretakers were rude and it seemed we were a burden to be there on the one occasion of speaking with them. We had major issues with our plug hookups last October, causing my beautiful dog to get BADLY electrocuted, when they had just taken over. (Large male collie and he cried out and loud) No one was accommodating. It caused my husband to have to replace the converter in our 39' Lakota along with microwave. To say "disappointed" is an understatement. We have supported the owner for all of these years. We actually, reached out to him through messenger. He said he would be calling me back concerning our experience but never reached out. It's been 3 weeks now. Unfortunately, the running of BCR has changed drastically and it's very sad. This place was a fun place for our family and children to relax and have fun. To say we miss the other caretakers is an understatement..! It was good days when all the horse folks had a part in supporting. Date of stay: July 2026 Traveled with family

My wife booked a few nights in Tickfaw state park, sight unseen, to be more or less in the vicinity of New Orleans, a plantation tour, and a swamp boat tour that we had booked months in advance. As it turned out, we actually enjoyed this state park stay more than our visit to New Orleans! The state park entrance is actually at the back of a neighborhood of sorts, on a narrow two-lane road that cuts away from the highway at a weird angle. Once inside the park proper, visitors are treated to beautiful swamps, complete with cypress trees, Spanish moss, and all the critters you would expect to find here. The campground we enjoyed had full hook ups, a small wooden deck, and a long back-in pad for our trailer. There was also a resident raccoon who kept us honest about locking things up at night, and securing coolers and food. Tickfaw state park features long boardwalks with railings, that afford visitors beautiful hikes in different parts of the park through different kinds of trees and plants. Unfortunately, many of these were still damaged in the summer of 2022 from the previous year's Hurricane Ida that blew through southern Louisiana and surrounding areas. The only trail that was not affected by this was the one without a boardwalk, so we enjoyed a hike through beautiful pines that went down to the river. Despite most of the trails being closed and damaged, we still enjoyed ourselves here, and had a good time. In the evening, I enjoyed casting topwater lures in on the cypress knees and trees, and caught & released several big bowfin... A fish that is sort of a cross between a catfish a bass, and a pit bull I suppose. I'm not sure when we will be back through this part of the world, but Tickfaw State Park is definitely a place that I would stay again: off the beaten path but close enough to where you want to be, peaceful and quiet, and the kind of southern serene that helps a SoCal guy like me to slow down and enjoy life a little bit.

If you love he outdoors, solitude and dirt roads, the Clear Springs Recreation area is the place…read morefor you. 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.

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.

She's is by far the rudest person i have ever attempted to do business with. We were in town for a funeral, our lodging plans had been set for over a week. Once we arrived at her establishment, she was not a woman of her word and she increased the price of what she was charging by almost $200. When i questioned her reasoning, she kicked me out stating if i wasn't willing to pay then i needed to leave. Paying was not the issue, i wanted an explanation as to why the sudden increase in cost. She was extremely rude and derogatory to me and my husband in the presence of my young son. She is extremely unprofessional and do not recommend anyone staying at this establishment ever.
