It’s summertime in Mississippi, which means one thing – it’s hot (really, really hot). When the temperature’s on the rise, the only thing to do is find a great spot to cool down, and that’s where Merit Water Park comes in. Known as a "place of peace and tranquility," the water park features a spring-fed creek with some of the coldest, most pristine water in the state.
Encompassing 25 acres, Merit Water Park is located 4 miles south of D’Lo on Rials Creek.
The secluded water park features a small waterfall, sand and rock creek-side beach, and an old-fashioned swimming hole.
The park’s other facilities include a parking area and picnic tables.
Since it’s spring-fed, the creek runs cold year-round, even during the hottest days of summer.
Aside from being nice and cold, the creek’s water is crystal clear.
The water may appear brown in some pictures; however, look closely and you’ll realize that’s just the bottom of the creek.
Offering the some of the clearest, coldest water around, a trip to Merit Water Park is the perfect solution to a hot summer day. Visit the park at 1043 Hwy 43 in Mendenhall. Click here to visit the Merit Water Park website.
