The Ross Barnett Reservoir was built in Central Mississippi, just above the state Capital of Jackson, in the early 1960's, by damming the Pearl River. My Father, along with many men from the area helped to build the 33,000 acre watershed. The Reservoir, or the "Rez" as it's affectionately called, is home to many species of fish, birds, and other wildlife as well as alligators and beavers. Each year over two million people visit the Ross Barnett Reservoir for outdoor recreation: types include boating, fishing, water-skiing, and camping. There are five campgrounds, 16 parks, 22 boat launches, three handicapped-accessible trails, two multi-purpose trails, and a mountain bike trail which meanders near Mule Jane Lake

Natchez trace/reservoir Airstream

Cindy was a wonderful host! Upon arrival, Cindy gave us plenty of information on the surrounding area + things to do for fun. So we packed up and headed on our way, checking in and to our surprise, found some authentic Mississippi made snacks, how thoughtful! After unpacking our bags, we left and went down to this bird watching pavilion down the trace. It was lovely and serene. After that, we explored some nearby trails in the woods and came back to the airstream to catch sunset. As evening set in, we warmed up some food in the airstream oven & Phebe played some music on her guitar and Ukulele. Cindy and her friend stopped by later that night, bringing us a fire pit and fire wood. We stayed out late, singing songs and making s'mores! The beds in the airstream were super comfy + we were able to flip the couch out to make a 3rd equally comfy bed. The next morning, we woke up and headed on over to Tommy's and I definitely recommend checking them out for breakfast! Thank you so much Cindy for your hospitality and letting us stay with you!
