Starkville is a
great place for outdoor enthusiasts. Hunting, fishing, hiking,
boating and water skiing are all available. Spanning 47,000
acres, the Noxubee National Wildlife is a developed waterfowl
refuge with 2 lakes, nature trails and a bird sanctuary.
Fishing is permitted in all refuge waters with hunting in selected
areas. The John W. Starr Memorial Forest, an 8,200-acre natural
woodland park, and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, offer 1,000
miles of shoreline and 110,000 acres of land and water.
Starkville also maintains 6 public parks with 2 swimming pools,
tennis and racquetball courts, baseball, softball and soccer fields
and more.
Golfers will find some of the finest greens in the South here. The
18-hole MSU golf course
was recently named one of Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play." Other courses
include Highlands Plantation
Golf Club and nearby Elm Lake Golf Course.
