Percy Quin State Park

If you’re curious about how the “Magnolia State” got its name, head on over to Percy Quin State Park. You’ll enjoy mesmerizing vistas of loblolly pines, stately magnolia trees, rolling hills, and spectacular seasonal flowers. What’s more, this park provides an abundance of outdoor activities such as boating and fishing on Lake Tangipahoa, southern style barbecues and picnics, swimming in the pool, hitting the links on the golf course, or hell, you can even get hitched at the Wayside Chapel! Top it all off with some authentic camping or renting your own cabin, and toasting some marshmallows by the fire, and you’ve found yourself the perfect long weekend.
