It’s summertime in Mississippi, which means one thing – it’s hot (really, really hot). When the temperature’s on the rise, the only thing to do is find a great spot to cool down, and that’s where Merit Water Park comes in. Known as a “place of peace and tranquility,” the water park features a spring-fed creek with some of the coldest, most pristine water in the state.

Encompassing 25 acres, Merit Water Park is located 4 miles south of D’Lo on Rials Creek.
