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. B. The following rates and fees shall apply to the state parks.
