State Park: Birding, Camp, Hike, Picnic, Walk
On August 29, 2005, Buccaneer State Park took a direct hit from the most devastating storm in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina. Winds of over 140 MPH and a tidal surge of over 28 feet completely leveled all of Buccaneer’s 15 structures, support facilities, infrastructure and waterpark. The park has been under complete reconstruction over the last four years. Buccaneer has been beautifully restored with state-of-the-art facilities and still provides a fun and exciting family recreational environment. There is still much work to be done to bring the park completely back. Phase III of park reconstruction includes the park’s campstore, pavilion, laundry facilities, meeting rooms, site amenities and Buccaneer Bay Waterpark, all of which is tentatively scheduled to open the summer of 2011.
