A favorable beach rating isn t uncommon on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. However, one of our state parks is listed in the “Top 25 Best Park Beaches in the U.S. by Reserve America.
Lake Lincoln State Park in Wesson features a sandy beach fronting its namesake 550-acre lake. Nearby, Betty’s Eat Shop in Brookhaven is the perfect place to dine after a morning of swimming or afternoon of fishing and boating.
There’s a lot to do at Lake Lincoln, but first, check out the amazing lake and beach. Whatever your pleasure – jet skiing, swimming, water skiing, boating or fishing – the lake is large enough to accommodate it all. Or, simply relax on the sand and enjoy the cool breezes floating over the water. The park is filled with hardwood trees that provide shade in the summer and colorful foliage in spring and fall months.

TISHOMINGO COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – We’re nearly halfway through May and a lot of people are trying to figure out some weekend runaways for the summer. When some places seem too far, but you still need to get away, then head up the Natchez Trace to Tishomingo State Park.
I like the park because the sandstone and limestone rock outcroppings are definitely not typical Mississippi-ish. Not that I don’t like typical Mississippi, but we are talking about going somewhere nearby that seems like a get away.
You are on the fringes of the Appalachian Plateau, and Bear Creek has a carved its way down through the rocks to create another atypical Mississippi setting; a stream that runs north. One of the landmarks of Tishomingo Park is the suspension bridge over Bear Creek. There are climbable rocks on the other side, or you can just sit in the creek.
