Sky Lake Preserve Belzoni – Mississippi Blues Trail

SKY LAKE PRESERVE BELZONI, MS

Sky Lake Preserve Belzoni, MS is the oldest known evidence of humans
in the Sky Lake area dating back approximately 4,000 years.
Unfortunately, there are no remains along the boardwalk or anywhere else here to be seen.

• Firstly, it’s located just 8 miles north of Blues Markers for Denise LaSalle and Pinetop Perkins in Belzoni and is known as the home to the oldest and largest bald cypress trees in the world.
• Secondly, these magnificent trees, some over 1,000 years old and with a circumference of 47 feet, are a must-see for nature enthusiasts.
• Even if you’re not planning on stopping in Belzoni, be sure to visit this scenic preserve for a lovely hike among these one-of-a-kind trees.
• The preserve is open to the public during daylight hours.

Don’t miss out on this unique and beautiful natural wonder.

• Bald cypress trees are magnificent and unique species that thrive in the wetlands.
  
• They are easily recognizable by their striking features, including their moss-covered crowns, wide buttressed trunks, and “knees” that protrude from the swamp floor.
  
• Despite being conifers, these trees shed their needles in the winter, earning them the nickname “bald.”
  

These resilient trees play an important role in their ecosystem and
continue to fascinate nature enthusiasts with their beauty and adaptability.
