Tombigbee State Park, State park in Lee County, Mississippi, United States
Tombigbee State Park is a public recreation area off Mississippi Highway 6, about five miles east of Tupelo in Lee County. It surrounds 90-acre Lake Lee and is named for the nearby Tombigbee River. Facilities include lake fishing, primitive and developed campsites, cabins and a cottage, picnic areas and two disc golf courses.
The Civilian Conservation Corps began work on Tombigbee State Park on June 1, 1934, and the park opened to the public in 1936. It was among the first state parks built in Mississippi. The Tombigbee State Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The park serves as a gathering place where residents enjoy outdoor activities together, from fishing along the lake to hiking through wooded paths. It functions as a local destination for families seeking time in nature away from town life.
The park offers various lodging options from tent camping to RV sites, cabins, and a cottage for larger groups. Reservations for accommodations can be made up to 13 months in advance, making planning ahead advisable during peak seasons.
The park's 90-acre Lake Lee is fed by a branch of the Tombigbee River watershed, and the park takes its name from that river rather than from the lake itself. The Civilian Conservation Corps began work here on June 1, 1934, and the park opened to the public in 1936.
