Frank Jackson State Park Take in the wilderness scenes while reeling in the day's catch. Surrounding Lake Frank Jackson, just one mile from downtown Opp, is Frank Jackson State Park. The lake is specially stocked and managed for prime freshwater fishing. Bass, bream, crappie, and catfish are abundant. Each April anglers converge on the park for a bass fishing tournament.
Boat launch ramps and a grassy beach provide water access for boaters, canoe paddlers, and swimmers.
Trails covering two miles cross the park for hikers and birdwatchers to explore the wildlife of the area. There is a playground and picnic area along the lake, and 32 fully equipped lakefront campsites. Gulf Islands National Seashore Explore the history and natural wonders of the gulf islands.
