About Shepard State Park
City management has overseen this state park since 2013, a shift from the state's earlier stewardship of the property. It sits off U.S. Highway 90 on the south side of Gautier. The recreation area remains open to the public under this local arrangement, though the source gives no further detail on its layout or holdings.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
