Tombigbee State Park

Tombigbee State Park is a state-owned recreational area spanning 480 acres of forest surrounding a 37-acre lake in Lee County. The grounds include hiking trails, a disc golf course, camping areas, cabins, fishing access, and day-use facilities for visitors.

The Civilian Conservation Corps built this park in 1934 as part of a nationwide effort to develop public recreational spaces during the economic crisis. It became the second state park constructed in Mississippi under that federal program.

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.

Lake Lee supports specific fish species that attract amateur and experienced anglers to the water throughout the year. The lake's fishery has developed a local reputation for reliable catches, making it a draw for those seeking angling success.
