Shepard State Park, State park and campground in Gautier, Mississippi, United States
Located off Highway 90, this 395-acre park contains mixed hardwood forests, pine flatwoods, bayhead swamps, bayous, and tidal marshes.
The park stands in Singing River country, where Pascagoula Indians entered the Pascagoula River according to regional accounts.
The area maintains strong connections to French and Spanish colonial periods, reflected in the local names and architectural elements.
Visitors access eight miles of nature trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, camping areas, and boat launches for a three-dollar entry fee.
The park's spring migration period draws birdwatchers to observe Least Bitterns, Tricolored Herons, and Brown-headed Nuthatches in live oak groves.
