Mississippi park with waterfall?
Hello! I am an avid hiker who currently lives and works in the Silicon Valley. My mom grew up in Northern Mississippi (near Corinth).
When I was an undergraduate student, I took a road trip with my girlfriend (now my wife) and a friend from college with my oldest sister's young kids.
We volunteered to drop them off at a half-way point between my sister's house (outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee) and their grandparents' home in South Texas. This half-way point happened to be Meridian, Mississippi.
On the way to Meridian, we found a park that was just off the highway somewhere in Mississippi. It was a really beautiful park too. It had a stream and a steep hiking area. We spent a few hours there; and, everyone truly enjoyed it.
The problem is that we don't remember the name of the park. We also lost our digital photos that were inadvertently deleted from a computer that crashed during college. So, I really have no way of knowing the name or location of this park.
The only clues that I have are: It was located in a hilly location (or ravine) with a creek or small river (and, possibly, a waterfall) in the park. And, of course, it was probably located just off of Route 11 (I-59) between Slidell, LA and Meridian, MS. Or, it is possibly located off of I-55 (between Hammond and Jackson). I really don't remember the route...but those are the two options that I would have taken.
Does anyone have a clue as to which park this might have been? I'd like to return again one day. I remember it being remarkably scenic (especially when contrasted with the university town where I was attending school).
