LeFleur's Bluff State Park, State park in Jackson, United States.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park encompasses 305 acres of forests, lakes, and trails along the Pearl River within the city limits of Jackson, Mississippi.
Louis LeFleur, a French Canadian trader, established a trading post on these Pearl River banks during the late 18th century, leading to Jackson's foundation.
The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science within the park maintains collections of over one million specimens, including fish, reptiles, birds, and regional fossils.
The park charges an entrance fee of 4 dollars per vehicle and provides 28 campsites with utility hookups, alongside primitive camping areas and bathhouses.
The park features specialized outdoor nature exhibits that support native plant species and an accessible playground between the pavilions at Mayes Lake.

Mississippi preserves sites that trace the state's history from indigenous settlements through the Civil War and the civil rights movement. The Windsor Ruins stand as remnants of an antebellum mansion, while the Old Capitol Museum documents legislative history. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson presents the struggle for racial equality, and the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale explores the origins of American blues music. Visitors can examine the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Winterville Mounds, which provide evidence of precolonial cultures. Natural areas range from the pine forests of De Soto National Forest to the coastal waters surrounding Ship Island. Tishomingo State Park offers trails through forested hills, while Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge protects habitat for migratory birds. Cultural sites such as Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's residence, and Longwood, an unfinished octagonal mansion in Natchez, complement the historical and natural attractions across the state.
