The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is celebrating Great Outdoors Month this June, encouraging residents and visitors to explore the state’s natural landscapes.
What started as a week-long event in 1998 has grown into a month-long celebration since 2019. The department promotes outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and wildlife observation at state parks, lakes, and natural areas.
Officials invite the public to enjoy Mississippi’s scenic trails, lakes, and wildlife management areas. They also encourage sharing outdoor experiences on social media and visiting the department’s website for activity ideas.
