Reservoir Overlook & Chisha Foka Trail

Reservoir Overlook & Chisha Foka Trail at Milepost 105.6 along the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi offers visitors a scenic overlook over the 33,000-acre Ross Barnett Reservoir and access to the Chisha Foka Trail, a paved multi-use trail that winds through forested terrain characteristic of the region. The overlook provides views of the local watershed and surrounding woodlands, while the trail itself features varied terrain along a route that’s popular with cyclists, walkers and joggers. The name Chisha Foka comes from the Choctaw language, meaning “among the post oaks,” reflecting the area’s Indigenous cultural history and native tree species.
