Blue Lake Recreation Area

## Overview

The Delta National Forest glimmers like a great, green jewel surrounded by
lazy rivers and spreading agricultural fields. The Delta is a large,
contiguous block of bottomland hardwood forest, seasonally flooded timber, and
small sloughs draining into the Big and Little Sunflower Rivers in the Yazoo
Basin of the Mississippi River. It is the only entirely bottomland hardwood
ecosystem in the National Forest System.

## Recreation

Enjoy camping, wildlife viewing, hiking, ATV riding, horseback riding, bird
and butterfly watching, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, and fishing all within
the Delta National Forest.

## Facilities

Facilities are spread throughout the Forest. There are four restroom
facilities located along FS Roads 715, 717, 720, and 707. All sites are
primitive and potable water is available at the Delta Ranger District work
center on FSR 703.

## Natural Features

The Delta National Forest lies in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley and is
surrounded by bayous, rivers, and lakes. The terrain is relatively flat, with
majestic Bald Cypress trees and other hardwoods.

## Nearby Attractions

Blues Trail; the Mississippi Mound Trail; Jim Henson Muppet Museum; Vicksburg
Military Park; Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex and Holt
