LeFleur's Bluff State Park

Use 3315 Lakeland Terrace, Jackson, MS 39216 for the state park. Mississippi Museum of Natural Science uses 2148 Riverside Drive, so navigate to the exact entrance for camping, Mayes Lake, museum, playground, or golf.

General day-use hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. The museum, campground, playground complex, golf course, and reserved facilities maintain separate schedules and holiday closures.

General entrance is $2 per person, with children age five and under free. The museum, camping, pavilions, golf, disc rental, and special activities charge separately.

The state park has two playground units between the pavilions in the Mayes Lake section. The larger LeFleur's Bluff playground complex near the museums is a separate destination with its own hours and holiday closures.

Yes. Five picnic pavilions can be reserved for gatherings. The shaded Riverside day-use area also has picnic tables, some charcoal grills, and views toward a large playground.

The park offers nature trails and an 18-hole disc golf course within its wooded urban landscape. Trail conditions change with rain and river or lake weather; use the interactive park map for current routing.

Yes. Visitors may launch their own boat, kayak, or paddleboard. Only electric trolling motors are allowed; jet boats are prohibited. Anglers ages 16-65 need a Mississippi fishing license.

No. The official park page currently says the golf course is closed for maintenance until further notice. Confirm the status before traveling for golf; the rest of the state park may remain open.

Use 3315 Lakeland Terrace for the Mayes Lake state-park side, camping, pavilions, lake, disc golf, and two park playgrounds. The Museum District playground and museums use the separate Museum Boulevard and Riverside Drive campus with parking at both museums.

Day-use facilities and the Museum District have destination-specific restrooms, while overnight guests use a campground bathhouse with hot showers. Current renovation projects can affect bathhouse or concession facilities, so confirm with the park before relying on one location.

No. The inclusive LeFleur's Bluff Playground links the Natural Science and Children's museums on the Museum District campus and has its own hours and holiday closures. The Mayes Lake state-park section separately has two playground units between its pavilions.

The Riverside day-use area has a spacious shaded picnic section, and five reservable pavilions serve the park; wooded nature trails and campground areas also provide tree cover. Mayes Lake, playgrounds, disc golf, golf, boat launch, and open recreation areas can be exposed. The Museum of Natural Science and other complex buildings have separate admission and hours, and pavilions are not severe-weather shelters; during lightning, flooding, high wind, or dangerous heat, use a confirmed-open substantial building or enclosed vehicle.

Yes, but only in designated pet areas and on an adequate leash no longer than six feet. Pick up and dispose of waste, and remove any pet that disturbs other guests. Pets are prohibited in and around swimming-pool and lake-beach areas; museums, playgrounds, golf, events, lodging, and other separately managed facilities may apply additional restrictions.

No operating pool, splash pad, or designated swimming beach is listed for LeFleur's Bluff. Mayes Lake is presented for fishing, boat launching, kayaking, and paddleboarding with electric trolling motors only, not swimming. Use the lake only for the listed activities and choose another currently operating Jackson-area aquatic facility when swimming or water play is the goal.

Accessibility varies by entrance, route, terrain, and destination. Review the exact mapped subsite and its official source before relying on a specific accessible route.
