๐ŸŽฃ 550-Acre Spring-Fed Lake With Sand Beach, Cabins, and Disc Golf in Southern Mississippi โ€” A Mississippi state park with 71 RV sites, 14 primitive sites, cabins and cottages, 550-acre spring-fed lake, sand beach, fishing piers, disc golf, nature trails, and boat launch โ€” near Wesson, Lincoln County, Mississippi

Lake Lincoln State Park wraps around a 550-acre spring-fed lake in the pine-covered hills of southern Mississippi โ€” a peaceful escape with 71 RV sites, cabins, cottages, a sand beach, disc golf course, and year-round fishing for bass, catfish, and bream. It’s the kind of park where families return year after year.

Located near Wesson with easy access from I-55, Lake Lincoln offers a complete outdoor experience without the crowds of the Gulf Coast parks. The spring-fed water stays clear, the fishing piers are well-maintained, and the Magnolia Cove Disc Golf Course adds something unexpected to the mix.
