Legion State Park, also known as Legion State Park Historic District, is a state park in the U.S. state of Mississippi located on the north edge of the city of Louisville. It is one of the original Mississippi state parks developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and includes the Legion Lodge, a hand-hewn log structure that has remained unaltered since its construction.[3] The park is adjacent to Tombigbee National Forest.
Activities and amenities
The park features fishing on two small lakes (12 acres (4.9 ha) and 4 acres (1.6 ha)), primitive and developed campsites, cabins and cottages, a 1.6-mile (2.6 km) nature trail, picnic area, and CCC-era visitors center.[3]
