Come and enjoy the beautiful clear waters of Okatibbee Lake at our five beaches and swimming areas. A number of public boat ramps with courtesy docks provide quick and easy access to the water.

Picnicking is permitted in all park areas around the lake with amenities including tables, playground equipment and restrooms. An overlook, which gives a breathtaking view of the dam and lake, is located at the East Bank Dam Site Public-Use Area.

The parks offer a variety of recreation facilities including ball fields, fishing jetties, picnic tables, swimming beaches, horse-shoe pits, volleyball areas, and large picnic shelters. The picnic shelters are ideal for family reunions, birthday parties or company gatherings and may be reserved in advance by calling (601) 626-8431.

A facility-use fee of up to $4 per vehicle is charged at day use areas that have beaches. A $3 boat launching fee is charged at day use areas with boat launching ramps.
