Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 40 - Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks › Part 6 - Mississippi State Parks › Chapter 1 - General regulations for the Mississippi State Parks › Rule 40-6-1.1 - STATE PARK FEES

Current through June 25, 2024
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 dynamic 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. Mississippi Sales
				Tax will be charged, where applicable.
