Haynes Lake

Haynes Lake is a 45-acre freshwater lake and offers fishing. The lake is for stocked catfish, bream, and bass. A boat launch and parking are available. A Mississippi fishing license is required for all persons between the ages of 16 and 65 and may be purchased at the park office for a nominal fee. Water skiing is not permitted on Haynes Lake.

The water level in the lake can vary a great deal based on the time of year and the frequency of rain events. Without regular rain events, the water level will decline which can make access to the lake edge and boat launching difficult. Lake Haynes is fed by local streams and naturally drains into Bear Creek. It is normal for the lake level to fluctuate with the season. A boat launch and parking are available. The boat launch fee is $7 daily per boat, due to the size of Lake Haynes, boat traffic is limited to trolling motor speed only.
