ARK Trails are Temporarily Closed!
Please note that the ARK trails are temporarily closed for safety concerns due to construction of the New Education Pavilion. We hope to re-open by August 1, 2016. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Mississippi Mounds Trail
The Mississippi Mound Trail project is a self-guided driving tour located along or near Highway 61, a major north-south transportation route along the western part of the state. Highway 61 is also part of the scenic highway known as “The Great River Road.” The trail route parallels the Mississippi River, one of the greatest commercial waterways in our country and used extensively by the American Indians in the past.
Construction Starts on ARK Education Center
Construction started in May for the new education center at the ARK trails which is being funded with the recent Entergy Environmental grant of $150,000.
Currently there are 2 miles of wooded trails that sit on the wildlife sanctuary located just 10 miles west of Hernando, MS. With the trails becoming more popular with outdoor enthusiast updates are needed to keep up with the increased public use.
Venomous Snake Safety
Warm weather is here! Snakes, lizards and other wild creatures are on the move as they move from one seasonal habitat to another.
As outside temperatures increase in the spring, snakes become more active as they search for food.
Recent flooding in areas around Arkabutla Lake has increased the water area, which makes it more likely you may encounter a snake during this spring or summer.
