One of the original state parks cleared and constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, Percy Quin is today a delightful blend of the old and new. Located just two and a half hours from New Orleans, 1700 acre Percy Quin State Park provides a colorful natural backdrop for a variety of outdoor activities. Lake Tangipahoa is a 700 acre fresh water lake ideal for fishing and water sports. The Lake is stocked with bass, bream, catfish and crappie. A Mississippi fishing license is required for all persons between the ages of 16 and 65 and may be purchased at the park office for a nominal fee. A fish cleaning station, with stainless steel sinks and fillet boards, is available for use at no charge. A marina on the lake offers year round boat storage. No storage of jet boats are allowed. There is a rental fee for the marina. Contact Park Office for more information (601) 684-3938. Percy Quin features 25 cabins furnished with bed and bath linens and basic kitchen equipment.
