Mississippi is celebrating Great Outdoors Month this June, encouraging residents and visitors to explore the state’s natural landscapes. The celebration, which expanded from a week to a month in 2019, highlights outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and wildlife watching.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks invites people to visit state parks, lakes, public waters, and wildlife management areas. The department emphasizes the benefits of connecting with nature for relaxation, peace, and enjoyment.
Participants are encouraged to share their outdoor experiences on social media by tagging the department. For ideas on where to explore, more information is available on the department’s website at mdwfp.com.
