Great views can be found all over the Magnolia State – you just have to know where to look. One place you should definitely be looking is the Bluff Lake Boardwalk. Located within a national wildlife refuge, the boardwalk offers amazing views of scenery, greenery, and wildlife. Even better, the trek is super short, making it suitable for all ages.

Bluff Lake Boardwalk is part of the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, which spans 48,000 acres in Noxubee, Oktibbeha, and Winston Counties.
