On Saturday, July 4, a beach party will be held in the park’s day use area, featuring food trucks, a DJ, and a National Guard equipment display.
The park is also marking the nation’s 250th anniversary with a visual display.
“We’ve got 40-foot stars painted all the way across our dam. Red, white, and blue, and two gold stars for 250,” said Clark.
Pat Harrison Waterway District Executive Director Dr. Danny Box said the park is currently at full capacity, with all 34 cabins, 12 bunk houses, and 158 campsites occupied for the holiday weekend.
