Frank Jackson State Park in Opp, Alabama, occupies 2,050 acres along the city’s northwestern edge around Lake Frank Jackson. Opened in 1970 as Lightwood Knot Creek State Park, it was renamed in the 1980s for longtime Covington County legislator Frank Jackson. The park centers on outdoor recreation, offering fishing, boating, hiking, and camping. Its defining feature is the 1,037-acre lake, an impoundment of Lightwood Knot Creek known for fishing tournaments and for bass, bream, and crappie. Easy walking trails, including a loop around a lake island reached by boardwalk and bridge, help make it a notable destination for quiet lake recreation in southern Alabama.
