When you think of Mississippi, you
likely think of the more than one
million acres (four million hectares)
of moss-draped oaks, timberland,
and pines. This vegetation is part
of the state parks, where you can
wander through lush cypress swamps
and amidst wild orchids and flowering
cypress trees – they are even
more beautiful in real life than
those photos...

numerous American literary icons and country-and-western
performers has enough room for both hunters and
hikers.
