The mighty Mississippi River might run along its entire western border, but the “Magnolia State” is also replete with historical sites and gorgeous lakes. At Pickwick, Sardis, and Turkey lakes, you can indulge in a wide array of fun things to do. Think fishing, sailing, swimming, water skiing, picnicking, or even hiking on the trails running along waters.

Of course, one of the best ways to explore Mississippi’s lakes is to stay in lakeside cabins. These rustic hideaways allow you to get away from it all while enjoying tranquil environment.
