Marks the site slightly northeast of downtown where the first European settler in the area, a French trader named Louis Lefleur, set up a trading post on the Pearl River that would eventually become the city of Jackson. Aside from historical points of interest, there are also short nature trails, an impoundment for fishing/canoeing, a golf course, and a campground.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park is a public recreation area located on the banks of the Pearl River off Interstate 55 within the city limits of Jackson, Mississippi. The state park is home to a 50-acre (20 ha) lake, the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, and the Mississippi Children's Museum.
