Pat Harrison Waterways are some of Mississippi's best kept secrets. These parks are a true testiment to the beauty and surroundings that simply exceed your expectations. My favorite Pat Harrison Waterways are Manor Creek Water Park near Waynesboro, Mississippi where ten pound bass are as common as warts on a witch's nose!! And Okatibbie Water Park near Meridian, Missisiippi where there's fun for the whole family. To learn more about Pat Harrison Waterways call them at 1-800-748-9403.
