Iuka has several parks in which to spend a leisurely afternoon or day. Among these are Mineral Springs Park and Jay Bird Park. Mineral Springs Park has a gazebo (great for sitting in the shade and enjoying the sites of the park), a Log Cabin, playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, a walking track and picnic tables. Come to Jay Bird Park and enjoy the gazebo and picnic tables or just relax on the beautiful grassy areas under the shade trees. Pickwick Lake in Iuka has over 47,000 acres of fresh water for fishing and water sports. Here an angler can haul a good catch of crappie, bream, catfish, sauger, walleye, and just about any species of bass.
