| Outdoor Recreation Areas |

Mississippi recreation opportunities are limitless. Our many lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs and over 100 miles of coastline allow plenty of opportunity to spend time fishing, swimming, boating, sailing, canoeing or waterskiing. The Mississippi outdoors also offer more than two million acres of public hunting lands and professional hunting and fishing guides provide access to thousands of acres of private reserves throughout the state. Our national and state parks, private facilities and outfitters have lodges and campsites as secluded or as accessible as your needs require. RV parks feature a full array of quality amenities, and there are over 153 Mississippi golf courses to test the skill of every level of golfer. Mississippi is a sportsman's paradise where, with our mild climate, outdoor activities happen year-round.
