Located at Mt. Olive, just off Highway 49, Dry Creek Water Park is widely popular for its simple pleasures: camping, swimming, picnicking, hiking, boating, and Florida Bass fishing. Fishermen are also happy with the trophy-sized lunkers they hook at Lake Mike Conner, so named after a Covington County native son, former-Governor Mike Conner. Whether you're bringing a tent or the RV, there’s a place for you in Outdoor Covington. |
Covington County is packed with recreation possibilities. Golfing at the Okatoma Golf Club is just one of the many enjoyments. Bordered by southern oaks and longleaf pines, the course is situated on rolling hills just north of Collins, directly on U.S. Highway 49, a convenient stop enroute to Hattiesburg or the Gulf Coast. Adjacent to one of the best restaurants in the area, the course features bermuda greens and fairways and a gorgeous layout. Lazy rockers, which control the activity on the three-sided club house porch, guarantee par-rocking every day. New homeowners find sweet quiet and serenity in Oak Hills subdivision which meanders through the course.
