In terms of natural beauty, there’s definitely no shortage in Mississippi. The Magnolia State is practically overflowing with places that provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and all the amazing scenery that comes along with it – and Iuka is definitely one of those places. Despite its tiny size, the town boasts a state park, two city parks, a lake with a waterfall, and so much more. Sure to impress, Iuka needs to be on your bucket list. Take a look:
Home to about 3,000 people, the small town of Iuka is located in Tishomingo County.
Far from your typical park, Mineral Springs Park is a significant site, teeming with beauty and history. Part of that history has to do with the six natural springs that were once believed to possess healing powers. As of today, three of those six springs are still flowing.
Aside from the springs, there's plenty more to see at the park, including one of the only covered bridges in the state.
The "world’s only apron museum" is filled with thousands of aprons, some of which date back centuries. There is no cost to tour the museum; however, donations are accepted.
The museum is located at 110 E. Eastport Street.
There are also several restaurants, including Cafe Memories.
The one-of-a-kind eatery features nostalgic decor and a menu filled with everything from burgers to seafood. Cafe Memories is located at 127 S. Fulton Street.
No matter how you choose to spend your time in Iuka, you’re practically guaranteed to be surrounded by breathtaking scenery and impressive views. Have you ever visited this picturesque town?
