Tombigbee State Park is a public recreation area located off Mississippi Highway 6 5miles east of Tupelo, Mississippi. The state park surrounds 90acres Lake Lee and is named for the nearby Tombigbee River.
The state park was among the first state parks built in Mississippi in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC began work on June 1, 1934; the park was opened to the public in 1938. The Tombigbee State Park Historic District was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The park features lake fishing, primitive and developed campsites, cabins and cottage, picnicking area, and two disc golf courses.
