Percy Quin State Park

Percy Quin State Park is a recreation area in Pike County featuring a large lake, walking trails, and facilities for various outdoor activities. The grounds showcase native trees and include camping options, boat access, and a golf course.

The park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s as part of Mississippi's early state park system development. This construction effort reflected broader efforts to establish public recreation areas during that era.

The small chapel within the grounds serves as a gathering place for weddings, ceremonies, and quiet reflection, showing how the park functions as more than just a recreation area for the local community.

The park offers different lodging options and boat launching areas for water activities. Visitors should be aware that seasonal conditions vary, and facilities may differ depending on when they visit.

The marina on the lake includes covered boat slips with electrical connections, an uncommon amenity for this type of park. This makes extended boat stays more comfortable than at many other locations.
