Regional Economic Development Opportunities and Recreational Activities in Southwest Mississippi
About Lake Okhissa Lodge
The Lake Okhissa Lodge is a 200-room lodge with a 1,000-person conference center that will be built on 150 acres of land in the scenic Homochitto National Forest near Lake Okhissa in southwest Mississippi.
The Scenic Rivers Development Alliance, a coalition of local governments in five counties, continues to lead the development of the property into a destination location for outdoor recreation enthusiasts, clubs, businesses and regional organizations that emphasizes tourism, economic development and education.
"I'm very excited about reaching this point in realizing the vision of using the natural beauty of Lake Okhissa and southwest Mississippi to create jobs, build tourism, and strengthen our economic base. A lot more work needs to be done on this project, but there is no shortage of enthusiasm to get it completed. I look forward to being part of that process."
- U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith
"I'm proud to have worked with the many great people who have seen the importance of the Lake Okhissa project and the economic development impact it will have on southwest Mississippi. I look forward to the great things in store at Lake Okhissa."
- U.S. Rep. Michael Guest, R-Madison.
This property is the platform which will allow southwest Mississippi to tell a rich story of outdoor activities from hunting and fishing, golf, usage of rivers and streams by outdoor enthusiasts, visitors and the general population of our state.
