Mississippi is home to several great water parks. The larger, well-known parks tend to get crowded during the hot days of summer, which is why it’s wise to seek out a smaller, lesser-known park. Lucky for you, we’ve got just the place – Big Creek Water Park. One of the most underrated summer destinations in Mississippi, it’s the perfect place to beat the heat AND escape the crowds.
Dive right into some summertime fun at Big Creek Water Park. Tucked away in the small town of Soso, the park is often overlooked – but it shouldn’t be!
Steeped in history and beauty, the park is home to a historic cemetery and one of the oldest cedars in the state. The highlight of the park, though, is its 200-acre lake.
Stocked with bass, bream, crappie, and catfish, it’s a prime fishing spot. Its pristine waters also make it a top choice for boating and jet skiing. Don’t have your own boat? No problem; the park offers boat rentals year-round.
