About Bladon Springs State Park
Bladon Springs State Park occupies the grounds of a mineral-spring resort that began as a private spa in 1838 and drew visitors from across the country. The state bought the property in 1934 and turned it into a park. The old resort hotel no longer stands, but the quiet, wooded setting remains a draw for campers and wildlife watchers. The park lies on a stop of the Black Belt Birding Trail, where songbirds, woodpeckers and raptors are common. Day visitors can use picnic pavilions, walking trails and a playground, and overnight campsites can be reserved by calling the park manager. Nearby attractions include the Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge, the Red Hills Forever Wild Tracts and the Trade Days market in Coffeeville.
