| State Park Overview: |
| Shepard State Park is nestled in the heart of Singing River (Pascagoula River) country, where legend has it that members of the Pascagoula Indian nation linked hands and walked into the Pascagoula River rather than be taken captive by hostile Indian tribes. The mournful death chant they sang as they walked earned the Pascagoula River the nickname "Singing River." Tales of the heroic exploits of French and Spanish settlers and romantic legends of the Pascagoula and Biloxi Indians are standard fare in the scenic coastal area surrounding Shepard State Park. |

Clean Bathhouse, Friendly Staff
My husband is active duty Navy and we are relocating to MS. During my daughters Spring Break we camped at Shepard for a week so we could get familiar with the area before making the move. Ranger Mike was very helpful with local information. We will be back!
