About
Whitten Park Picnic Shelters is a day-use facility operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in Fulton, Mississippi. This is NOT an overnight camping location. The facility features two large picnic shelters that can be reserved for group gatherings, along with a bathroom facility that operates seasonally. Recreational amenities include basketball courts, tennis courts, a playground, and a disc golf course. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway extends 234 miles from the Tennessee River to the Tombigbee River in Alabama, connecting the nation's midsection with the Gulf of Mexico via commercial water transportation. For overnight camping, visitors should book at the adjacent Whitten Park Campground, which offers 60 sites with electric and water hookups, showers, boat docks, nature trails, and a swimming beach.
Directions
From the intersection of US 78 and MS 25, go north on MS 25 for 200 yards, then turn north on Access Road for 4.5 miles. The campground is on the left side of the road within the Jamie L. Whitten Historical Center and Park.
