Welcome to the Arkabutla Lake Nature Center and Environmental Education Center trail. There are great plans for this area. Read the signs along the trail for more info.
The ARK Nature trail is located 10 miles west of Hernando on Highway 304 just west of Fogg Road. Look for signs and parking area on the left just past Panther Creek.
The Arkabutla Lake Nature and Environmental Education Center and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Visitor’s Center is a collaborative effort between the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers, DeSoto County Board of Supervisors, Mississippi Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc. and the DeSoto County Greenways. The site is equipped with almost 2 miles of woodland walking trails already constructed.
The day I placed this cache, I saw 5 deer as the Fall leaves were tumbling to the ground around me. This is a very peaceful place. If you haven't checked out this new trail system, now is the time. You will find plenty of parking at the trail head. Because this is a wildlife refuge, the trails are open to FOOT TRAFFIC ONLY. No pets, ATVs, or bikes are allowed here. Enjoy your walk through the woods, and enjoy the cache hunt!
