There aren’t many overlooks in Mississippi. There are a few, though, and one you don’t want to overlook is the Moon Lake Scenic Overlook. Extending out over a lake, it offers unparalleled views that are almost too beautiful for words (which is why we recommend bringing a camera).
Moon Lake is a 2,300-acre oxbow lake located in the Moon Lake community of Coahoma County.

Fishing isn’t the only way to enjoy Moon Lake, though. As the centerpiece of Moon Lake Park, it’s easily accessible and a great place for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.

Accessing the overlook requires a short stroll along a paved walkway through a pecan grove.

After you make your way out of the grove, you’ll be met with a long, wooden boardwalk surrounded by cypress trees.
