Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Mississippi isn’t exactly known for its diverse terrain. However, there’s more to the state than stretches of flat nothingness. And the Grenada Lake Loop serves as proof. Circling its namesake lake, the route is dotted with bluffs, which just so happen to provide some stellar views of the water below.
Spanning 50 miles, the Grenada Lake Loop will take about an hour to complete. Of course, that doesn’t factor in any stops you might make along the way.
Other points of interest along the route include Hugh White State Park and Carver Point State Park. Great detours, the parks are brimming with perks, including hiking trails, cabins, and campgrounds.
Nature enthusiasts will also want to check out the Lee Tart Nature Preserve in Grenada. A visit requires veering a bit off route, but is worth it since the preserve offers hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and bird-watching.
