This is a fantastic trip. My wife and four year old and I hiked down the ridge and to the creek. The trail is a little steep in spots but was doable. Hiked up the creek and into the canyon. It was busy and you do have to overlook the trash as it isn't kept clean and has been used as a tire dump. But it really is a great spot on Mississippi. Allow a couple of hours to really get into the area.

Choctaw Lake is an excellent spot for a weekend stay. The tent sites are clean and there are a number of hookups for RVs. There is an extensive trail system that is well maintained for Mountain Biking and running. Miles of trails. Many miles. This area hosted the first annual Mississippitopia Outdoor Recreation Symposium and drew representatives from several of the universities in the state as well as a few out of state visitors. Do yourself a favor and visit this site.
