Ancient Mounds Trail

Lower Jackson, located one-half mile south of this highway, was once thought to be part of the nearby Poverty Point site. However, charcoal found beneath the mound dates it to 3500 BC, 2000 years earlier than Poverty Point. The mound was built in a single episode and is 8 feet tall and 130 feet in diameter.
