Statewide burn ban in effect at all Mississippi state parks and fishing lakes

Effective immediately, a statewide burn ban is in effect at all Mississippi State parks and state fishing lakes until further notice.

In response to the dry weather, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has taken proactive measure to ensure the safety of our parks, lakes, staff, and guests.

This burn ban prohibits the use of all fires such as campfires, bonfires, debris burning, and much more.

Violations of the burn ban can result to fines up to $500.
