The LeFleur?s Bluff State Park is a state park and recreation area in Jackson, Mississippi. It is noted for being the great green spot in the very heart of the urban city of Jackson.
Named after Louis LeFleur, a French Canadian immigrant trader who was instrumental in the development of the city of Jackson, the LeFleur?s Bluff State Park is also quite a historic site. It was once a part of the Choctaw Nation, given up by the Choctaw Native Americans due to the pressure being given by the American Government in the 1800s.
Today, the LeFleur?s Bluff State Park offers a wide array of recreation that can be enjoyed all year round. It has facilities for camping, picnicking, hiking through several nature trails, golfing, and boating. Canoeing and fishing are also popular at the site.
