I visited Cane Creek State park in the Spring of 2010 for an overnight backpacking trip with my…read moredaughter. We hiked the Cane Creek Lake Trail six miles from the trailhead to the campground. We had the campground to ourselves on a Saturday night. The trail was fairly level with small dips into creeks. The swinging suspension bridges were fun to cross. The trail is well marked and signed and bridge numbers are used to identify locations in emergencies. Our trip coincided with a controlled burn and we enjoyed several trees still on fire and the contrast of the bright trail with the darker country side. Fortunately the burn extended only a mile or so into our hike. The lake features beaver and their structures. (Beware of "beaver fever" and treat all lake water carefully. There are kayak rentals for those wanting to tour the lake. naturalists also lead scheduled tours on the water or you can follow a self-guided water trail. The camping area was very nice and you can rent one of two trailers with decks if you want to try out camping or just don't want to encumber yourself. Star City is a just few miles away and the local stores provide groceries and other items you may have forgotten. Amateur radio operators should note there is a repeater in nearby Star City which can be linked to Little Rock using the 110.9 tone. Friends in Little Rock can reply using 146.940 with a similar 110.9 tone.

When I was a baby, after my mother & father divorced and she married my stepdad, I thought this was…read moremy first home. I grew up on both sides of the Mississippi River. Born on the Louisiana side. My mother went onto have 4 more children, all 4 boys, my half brothers, they all still live in this area. Well, the youngest, my baby brother, passed away and is buried nearby. My step father also passed & is buried here also. His father, my Step grandparents had a very large estate nearby, over 100 acres. We all grew up here, me and my five brothers. They taught me how to hunt & fish here. There is nothing else to do out here but hunt & fish. One of the best places, if not THE BEST place to hunt & fish, is here. When Sir Hubbers & I recently moved back to Pensacola, closer to my stepbrothers, we started spending more time hanging around my old stomping grounds. I have to admit, I am really enjoying myself, showing my hubby around the south, taking him to all the places we went as kids. We moved around quite a lot as my real father was in the military in Pensacola. Anyway, we spent a great deal of time here around "Alligator lake" hunting & fishing. With 5 brothers, I just did what they did, went hunting & fishing with my brothers, we were all so close. They taught me everything I know about the forest and the swamp, its natural ecosystem, food sustainability, as well as its dangers. Leroy Percy state park is the oldest state park in Mississippi & it's also the smallest. Built back in the 30's in a mid century modern style, it hasn't changed one bit. The structures are still solid, historically intact, with interior updates. It's also home to "Alligator Lake" that's fed by an artesian spring. Alligator lake is surrounded by the most spectacular old cypress trees & ancient oaks throughout. The most beautiful place on earth to me. I wouldn't change one thing about it for the world. Never. OuiOui. An unspoiled landscape of immense beauty unfolds as you enter, a lush green forest surrounds you with such an abundance of wildlife, the sounds capture your imagination as if your in another world. The sounds here are like nothing you have ever heard. Wild Alligators, American Eagles, Deer, red squirrels, turkey, duck, red coons, doves cooing, the sounds are like being in a jungle, a jungle right here in America, with tons of wild Alligators. When I heard Sir Hubbers tell me one night he never saw a wild gator in the wild before it was on like donkey kong. I took him over here & it just rained & rained the first time but he LOVED it. The second time was spring, the colors of the swamp in the background with the purple trees blooming, it was just magnificent colors. Then, 3rd time, was a charm. Sir Hubbers & I were just walking next to Alligator lake one evening & a big freakin wild Alligator just came floating by! Sir Hubbers hasn't been the same since. He is captured now also, with his whole heart, as for me, memories from my childhood came flooding back like a fever. I can't believe how much I missed this place, I can't believe how much I missed Alligator lake. Spending time with my family here again has been the most rewarding experience of my life. Now, with Sir Hubbers, it has been the most thrilling and the most romantic. This place can be quite dangerous. So you have to protect yourself & your loved ones, which naturally brings you closer together. We have never been closer, you might even say, we are having our second honeymoon under the stars, at Alligator Lake. There is no cell phone service here, no wifi service it's totally off grid. You have to drive into town to use your phone. There are no tv's or starbucks, no restaurants, you have to bring everything you need and hunt & fish for your food. There is one small grocery store 12 miles away. There are two "group camp" cabins you can rent with your friends/family and they can sleep up to 44 people I believe. Two of them are smaller. There is plenty of room for parking your boat. There is "tent camping" but honestly, I do not recommend it. There are also a few places to hook up your RV that I do recommend. Forget the Alligators, the Mosquitoes here are the vilest creatures & there is poison ivy everywhere. So before you decide to come here I recommend you research throughly the Mississippi State Park Fees, Rules & Regulations. Keep in mind this is a professional level hunting & fishing camp, it's not for everyone. There is a designated place to clean fish & skin deer. Leroy Percy is one of two state parks that feature a wildlife management area. Also, you can purchase your hunting & fishing licenses right here at the camp office.

Okay, the NWR is not for everyone as it lacks paved roads, developed camp sites, running water, electricity or even sanitation facilities (not even a porta-potty). But for those wanting a true outdoor experience, the NWR can't be beat and its free! Your tax dollars have paid for access and camping. I highly recommend the north side entrance on Highway 1 between Dewitt and Marvell. A short drive down the gravel road on the north side leads to several lakes and adjacent camping areas. Just ensure you're camped inside the white paint rings on the trees. All of the lakes feature gravel boat launches and you will need a boat, canoe or kayak to take full advantage of NWR waters. You do need to be fishing or hunting in the NWR in order to camp and rangers and game wardens were active the days we visited. Also you'll need a free NWR permit which you can download or pickup at the visitor center just off of Highway 1 on the Dewitt side of the White River bridge. While picking up your permit in person, take time to walk the Upland trail. Plan about 30 minutes for the circuit. Kids will also love the diorama in the visitor center. I plan to return several times each year to fish in the NWR and, no, I won't tell you my favorite lake and camping spot. You'll need to find your own.

If you go in flood season, the boardwalk should be open and give you great views of wildlife during this time of year. We saw several different kinds of fish and snakes swimming in the water as well as brightly colored birds everywhere. We would like to return after flood season to compare, but we're sure it will be just as great. When you go down the road toward the visitors, don't pass it up. The building with the solar panels and flag is both the office AND visitor's center. We thought it was just the office and ended up on a narrow, deeply rutted dirt road leading to a couple lodges.

This is a very beautiful historical park if you enjoy nature and/or like reading about its history. If you're not a history enthusiast or don't remember much about the Louisiana Purchase from your 8th grade history class...then you might find this state park to be boring. This park offers informational spots/posts along the way. When I visited, it was mostly dry so I didn't see any aquatic animals, no snakes, however there were plenty of birds in the trees singing. This park is located a couple minutes from a major highway. It offers a few parking spaces and there is no fee to enter/park.

When we arrived there was only one other car in the parking area. This was slightly concerning because we appear to be in the middle of nowhere and you just never know the intent of others. As such, I do NOT suggest visiting this place solo. This landmark is a well maintained boardwalk above a swamp. The boardwalk leads you to the focal point of the swamp which is a monument that indicates the initial point from which all surveys of property acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 originated. If you are like me, it's been a long time since I had a history lesson. With that being said, there are several educational exhibits on the boardwalk to allow you to brush up on the Louisiana purchase. I enjoyed walking the boardwalk. It is a short distance to get to the end. I suggest taking your time to be still and listen to the sounds of the swamp. We saw a few birds and frogs along the way The signage indicates that alligators have been spotted in the swamp, but we did not see any during our visit. If you have an opportunity to visit, go for it!

The park, named after a for parks and recreation director named Julius Breckling (not listed on this Yelp page with his name), was huge - 39 acres huge. Lol. The cons were: - trash scattered sparingly on the ground - sus characters - some areas that were worn out/ run down - parking fees (see below) - no restrooms available - none that we saw Pros: + amphitheater + dogs on leashes okay + playground area + sculptures throughout + shaded sitting areas + splash pad (there were two of them, but only one was operable that day) + terraces + walking paths + water fountains + nearby pedestrian bridge + The Little Rock monument near the bridge Parking was $3 per hour for 8 hours maximum - enforced 24/7.
