If you’re lookin’ for a little slice of Mississippi heaven, Archusa Creek Water Park ought to be at the top of your list. Tucked away in the piney woods of Quitman, Mississippi, this beautiful park offers plenty of fun for the whole family, even though the lake’s takin’ a bit of a breather right now.
Current Status: What’s Open and What Ain’t
Now, I know what y’all might be askin’: “Can we still get on the water?” Well, here’s the lowdown. Right now, swimming, boating, and day-use activities are temporarily unavailable due to the current condition of the lake. But don’t fret! There’s still plenty goin’ on around these parts. The cabins, campsites, and lodge hall are all still open for your enjoyment, and we’ll keep you posted as soon as the lake's back in action.
Fishin’ at Its Finest
If you’re a fishin’ enthusiast, you’re in for a treat when the lake is ready. Archusa’s 450-acre lake is a fisherman’s paradise, brimming with bass, catfish, perch, and bream. Whether you’re out there on a boat (when the time comes) or sittin’ lakeside, the calm blue-green waters offer the perfect place to cast your line and wait for that big one to bite.
Cozy Cabins and Campsites
For those of y’all lookin’ for a little getaway, Archusa’s got just what you need. The park boasts cozy cabins that are just right for a weekend escape or even a full-blown vacation.

Wildlife and Wilderness Adventures
Now, Archusa Creek is more than just a place for fishin’. There’s a whole world to explore right here in the park. From the one-half mile nature trail that winds through the woods to the Dixie Youth baseball field and the disc golf course, there’s somethin’ for every member of the family to enjoy. The little ones can burn off all that energy at the playground while you sit back, relax, and soak up the peacefulness of these piney woods.
Fall Fun at the Forestry and Wildlife Festival
