Most of Mississippi’s state parks are great visits year-round. However, some parks offer seasonal amenities that you don’t want to miss – and that’s definitely the case with Roosevelt State Park. A summertime must-visit, the park boasts a lake, swimming pool, and a towering waterslide. Take a look:

Somewhat centrally located, Roosevelt State Park is in the tiny town of Morton, which is situated between Meridian and Jackson.
