About George P. Cossar State Park

Named for a Mississippi state legislator, this park sits on the shores of Enid Lake, giving visitors direct access to the reservoir's water. It lies off Mississippi Highway 32, five miles northeast of Oakland, placing it within reach of the lake's shoreline for anyone deciding on a lake-focused outing. The setting centers entirely on that lakefront position rather than any separate inland terrain.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
