Mayes Lake — Attraction in Jackson

The most Beautifully hidden secret in the middle of the Jackson metropolis. If you’re creative, and you like writing, playing your instrument, singing, or photography, videography or art of any kind, this is where I’ve found refuge. I’ve written almost all my best songs with just me and my banjo 🪕 out on the Purple Trail leading into the forest by the Pearl River. For all the lovers of nature and purity of the earth, and lovers of the outdoors, keep this place a well hidden secret from the young crazy kids (who I used to be one of)😂 so we don’t lose It any time...

Great little park. Close to downtown. Perfect to stay for my weekend class. Loved being able to come somewhere peaceful after 8-9 hrs of lecture and work. You can here the interstate traffic but it's like white...

We visited from Illinois for Thanksgiving and I was recommended this area. This place was a real highlight...
