206 Shields Rd Kosciusko, MS 39090

The Yockanookany River Lodge offers an exceptional 1,604-acre recreational property in Attala County, Mississippi, just outside Kosciusko and along the historic Natchez Trace corridor. With more than three miles of Yockanookany River frontage, extensive hardwood bottomland, established trails, managed wildlife habitat, a private lodge, oxbow lake, and green tree reservoir, this property combines large-acreage recreation with an impressive collection of improvements and natural features. The terrain is primarily flat hardwood bottomland that follows the Yockanookany River, creating a diverse landscape of mature hardwoods, cypress trees, thickets, water features, and wildlife habitat. The property stretches more than three miles from end to end and includes more than 16 miles of established trails, providing extensive internal access for exploring the acreage, reaching hunting and recreational areas, maintaining habitat, and enjoying the property's varied landscape. At the center of the property is a 4,510-square-foot lodge designed for comfortable group use and overnight stays. The lodge sleeps approximately 10 to 12 people and features three master suites, two bunk rooms, three full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. Scenic views are a major feature of the lodge, with water and timber views from both the front and rear of the structure. The rear of the lodge, including the outdoor kitchen area, overlooks the Yockanookany River, while the front looks across a three-acre oxbow lake. The three-acre oxbow lake is stocked with bass, bream, crappie, and catfish, adding another layer of recreational opportunity to the property. The combination of river frontage, oxbow water, mature timber, and extensive bottomland habitat creates an attractive setting for fishing, wildlife observation, outdoor recreation, and private retreats. The property's wildlife habitat is equally notable. The combination of old-growth hardwoods, cypress trees, natural thickets, river frontage, wetlands, food plots, and water resources provides a variety of habitat types across the acreage. The property is currently set up and managed for whitetail deer and turkey recreation, with 13 established food plots, eight Redneck blinds, and Millennium ladder stands already in place. These existing improvements provide a strong foundation for continuing the property's current recreational management plan. In addition to the upland and bottomland habitats, the property includes a 55-acre established green tree reservoir. This feature adds significant waterfowl habitat potential and provides an opportunity to further develop the property as a waterfowl-focused recreational tract with relatively limited habitat manipulation. The combination of the green tree reservoir, river frontage, oxbow lake, hardwood bottoms, and natural cover gives the property multiple habitat components that can support a broad range of wildlife. The property's location is another significant advantage. The Yockanookany River Lodge is situated in Attala County immediately outside Kosciusko, providing convenient access to a full-service community while retaining the character and privacy of a large recreational tract. Kosciusko is located along the Yockanookany River and is closely associated with the Natchez Trace Parkway, a 444-mile scenic and recreational corridor managed by the National Park Service. The Parkway offers opportunities for scenic driving, hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping, and exploring historic sites. For buyers looking for a Mississippi recreational property with substantial acreage, river frontage, established improvements, and diverse wildlife habitat, the Yockanookany River Lodge presents a rare combination. The 1,604 acres provide scale, while the 4,510-square-foot lodge offers a comfortable base for extended stays and group gatherings. More than 16 miles of established trails, 13 food plots, extensive mature timber, multiple water features, and an established 55-acre green tree reservoir create a property with a wide range of outdoor recreation possibilities. Whether the priority is a private Mississippi hunting and recreational retreat, fishing and outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat management, waterfowl habitat potential, or simply owning a large riverfront property with a substantial lodge, the Yockanookany River Lodge offers a unique combination of natural resources and improvements in one of central Mississippi's most desirable recreational regions.
