Reservoir Overlook
Reservoir Overlook provides a view of the vast, 33,000 acre Ross Barnett lake that
serves as Mississippi's largest source of drinking water. The lake water is
an impoundment of the Pearl River. The reservoir is the home of alligators and many
water birds.

This overlook is the northern terminus for the Chisha Foka Multi-Use Trail, a
10-mile paved path that runs through historic Choctaw homelands. Named in honor
of the Choctaw town that stood where the city of Jackson is today, Chisha Foka
(chee-sha-foe-ka) translates to “among the post oaks.” Today, trail users can enjoy
the recreational opportunities and the trees, wildflowers, and wildlife of this
protected greenspace in Ridgeland, Mississippi.
