Greenville, Mississippi
Spend a day in Greenville: park views, a casino, and a quick meal; longer only for museums or hunting trips.
Greenville sits on the Delta’s eastern bank of Lake Ferguson. The city’s main draws are Warfield Point Park, two casinos and a modest downtown. Car travel is essential; the downtown area has high crime, so stay alert.
