Centered around a 600-acre lake, stocked with bass, bream, crappie and catfish. Other activities include boating (rentals available), water skiing, and swimming. Flint Creek's Water Town offers multiple waterslides, including four giant ones for the adults, and is open most of the year. There is plenty of camping available in the form of tent/rv spots, cabins, and camphouses. There is also a nature trail for hikers, and a picnic area with grills and tables. On the fourth of July, the park runs its annual fireworks display. A "haunted forest" is put on every year the Saturday before Halloween.
Wiggins history unfortunately includes a day in 1910 when about half of the town burned down, including most of the business district such as the railroad depot.
170 miles of trails on the De Soto are available for hikers, ATV riders, mountain bike riders, and horse riders. Tuxachanie Trail begins about 3 miles east of U.S. Highway 49.
