As the temperatures steadily rise, you’re gonna need a place to cool down – and D’Lo Water Park is that place. Not your typical water park, it doesn’t have slides, a lazy river, or crowds of people. Instead, it has something much better – a natural swimming hole. Take a look:

Deemed one of Mississippi’s best kept secrets, D’Lo Water Park is tucked away in the tiny town of D’Lo, which is about a 40-minute drive from Jackson.
