CMARA 3rd Saturday Event
The Central Mississippi ARA will host its 3 rd Saturday operation at
Lake Lincoln State Park this Saturday January 17, 2026, weather
permitting (rain or snow – no show only).
K5FIT visited the Park and has these comments: I visited the Park this
morning It’s about an hour from Flowood off I-55 south. A
beautiful park. My wife and I camped there many times in the past, and I
know Eugene (N5CMA) camped there and is from this area.
I talked to the gate lady and told her we wanted to come on the 17 th
and practice emergency communications using Amateur Radio equipment. I
also mentioned the Park is a Parks on the Air location. She said the
Park is open daily 8am-5pm and a day use pass is $2.00, and they would
be happy to have us. I assured her we would not leave any trace we were
there.
There is LOTS of room and concrete picnic tables over 2 or 3 acres along
the lake. Well-kept with restrooms by the parking lot. Lots of room to
get a little distance with antennas too.
Once you pay your day use fee continue straight then turn right at the
picnic area sign. Then bear left at the Primitive Area sign.
Park entrance GPS Coordinates are: 31.674354, -90.341054.
