STATE PARK FEES.
A.
Disclaimer: Patrons using the facilities at any Park shall be responsible for any loss or
damage caused by the patron to such facilities. The MDWFP reserves the right to pursue any legal
means, whether civil and/or criminal, to recover its losses or damages. Patrons will be required
to present a valid Credit Card and photo ID upon check-in, to assure compliance with this
responsibility.
Additionally, State wildlife management areas (WMAs), fishing lakes, and parks, are
managed to be as close to a natural condition as possible, while providing access and opportunities
for outdoor recreation. Any number of animals, plants, and insects, some of which may be
dangerous to humans, may be found on state WMAs, lakes, and parks. Please enjoy the
opportunities we offer to interact with nature, but be mindful of your surroundings. Should you
have any questions about specific locations, please call us at 601-432-2400 or visit
www.mdwfp.com.
As of January of 2023, the MDWFP will be implementing a new market-based pricing fee
structure. By amending this rule, many fixed price amusements and amenities will be replaced
with a range of prices for those items so that state park management may adjust pricing to
prevailing market trends, popularity of the amenities, seasonal demand (or lack thereof), and
similar factors. For additional pricing information please call the individual park or go to
www.mdwfp.com and look for State Parks.
