Mississippians urged to visit state parks for 4th

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks invites everyone to celebrate the Independence Day Weekend at one of the state parks and enjoy an abundance of family-oriented outdoor activities. State park lakes, pools and splash pads are very inviting on hot summer days. In addition, there are more than 200 cabins, 1,700 RV sites and 45 motel rooms to accommodate park visitors.

The safety of guests is the greatest concern, and in order to ensure everyone has a safe, fun 4th of July weekend, security will be increased. Visitors are also encouraged to become familiar with state park rules and regulations. Those can be found at www.mdwfp.com under the “Parks and Recreation” tab. Of special note, the legal possession of alcoholic beverages will be determined by the laws of the county the park is located in. However, alcoholic beverages are prohibited on all state park lakes and in some designated areas. Obvious intoxication is not tolerated.

Make plans now to spend a safe, enjoyable 4th of July weekend at a Mississippi state park.
