About Cypress Creek Landing
Cypress Creek Landing offers a refreshing escape with its cool, clear waters nestled within Mississippi’s De Soto National Forest. As a primitive cold spring, it invites you to immerse yourself in a natural swimming hole complete with a soft sandbar and a classic rope swing. The inviting bluff nearby adds a splash of excitement with jumps into the crisp water below.
Getting There
Reaching Cypress Creek Landing is straightforward with drive-up access—no hiking required. From Janice, head south on Snyder Road for about 3.7 miles, then continue south on Forest Road 305. Parking is ample and free, making it easy to settle in for a day or a longer stay.
What to Expect
You find a lively atmosphere with families and adventurers enjoying the refreshing cold spring waters. The swimming hole’s gentle sandbar and rope swing create a playful vibe, while the nearby bluff offers a spot for daring jumps. Basic facilities such as showers, toilets, picnic tables, and campsites with fire pits support your visit without detracting from the natural surroundings.
Tips for Visitors
Cypress Creek Landing is welcoming year-round, but coming on a warm day enhances the swim experience. Bring your swimsuit, towel, and perhaps a picnic to enjoy at the tables. Although there is no entry fee, respect the environment and other visitors by packing out all trash and treating the primitive hot springs in Mississippi with care.
