For almost a century, Mississippi State Parks have welcomed guests and provided a quiet getaway for families and friends to reconnect with nature and each other.

As a tourism destination, we are committed to conserving and enhancing the essence of what makes Mississippi State Parks special, while also entering a new era of adventure, hospitality, outdoor recreation and conservation.

With this in mind, a symbol of our mission and the connection we have to our guests has been created.

This logo represents growth and renewed intention, while also celebrating the history that encompasses our story.

With this new symbol and branding initiative, a new era of Mississippi State Parks will solidify our core values of environmental stewardship, community engagement and quality outdoor recreation.

“We are proud to be entering this next chapter of Mississippi State Parks. It is such an exciting time to be part of the Mississippi State Parks team and I look forward to seeing what we continue to achieve in the future,” says Andre Hollis, Director of Mississippi State Parks.

“The unveiling of Mississippi State Parks’ new logo is a testament to the commitment of the revitalization of our State Parks. This logo not only symbolizes our respect for history and conservation but also our excitement for what is next for Mississippi State Parks. We look forward to providing unparalleled experiences and amenities never before seen in our state park system,” says Brian Ferguson, Chief of Staff of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.
