About Wall Doxey State Park

Wall Doxey is one of Mississippi's original state parks, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps from 1935 and opened in 1938 as Spring Lake. It sits 7 miles south of Holly Springs and about 40 miles from Memphis, around a 60-acre spring-fed lake with cypress in the shallows. A 2.5-mile nature trail circles the lake, and the Spring Creek and Turkey Hollow disc golf courses are free to play. There are RV and tent sites, cabins, picnic pavilions and a boat launch. Entry is $2 per person, and children 5 and under get in free.
