Tucked in between Madison and Rankin County sits Brandon/Reservoir, a central attraction not just of Rankin County, but the whole of the Jackson Metro area. Brandon/Reservoir offers many distractions from the workaday world, from outdoor activities like golf, boating and skiing to indoor activities like the Mississippi Blues Festival.

Covering 33,000 acres, the reservoir was named after the state’s 52nd Governor, construction beginning in 1960, built to serve as the primary water supply for Jackson and the surrounding areas.

With more than two million people visiting the area every year for the outdoor recreation, the reservoir is a popular destination for vacationers.
