Nature
Wall Doxey State Park in north Mississippi developed around Spring Lake, a 60-acre spring-fed lake whose wooded shoreline, cypress-lined shallows, and partial levee give the park a quiet, sheltered character and support fishing and other recreation. Created during the New Deal as one of Mississippi’s original state parks, it was the eighth built through the Civilian Conservation Corps program. Work began in 1935, the park opened in 1938, and the National Youth Administration added a cabin that same year. Renamed in 1956 for Mississippi politician Wall Doxey, it remains notable both as a recreation area and as a Depression-era public works landscape.
