Friends President's Message

Greetings Friends,

Thank you for your interest in the Friends of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park (DWPSP). We are excited you have found us and hope you enjoy exploring our website. We are a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization, state sanctioned, citizen support organization (CSO) that assists park staff with resource management, facility maintenance, recycling and visitor services. We do this by raising funds to help with the cleanup effort ongoing in the park, fencing for the beach, and the other needed items to help make our park successful.

I am a member of the volunteer team and have enjoyed working with the park staff for the past few years. If you choose to you join the Friends and volunteer team I hope you will enjoy it and find it as rewarding as I have.

We encourage you and your family to visit the park early and often as we have spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. With nearly a mile of beautiful sandy beach you are welcome to sunbathe, swim, paddleboard, kayak, birdwatch, fish, walk, geo-seeking, snorkel, read and relax. You get the idea. It's truly a special place. Our park is also home to many different species of birds, golpher tortoises as well as dolphins, manatees, see turtles, and other marine life.

Once you have had a chance to learn more about the Friends we encourage you to support us by joining the Friends of DWPSP and becoming more involved. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Janice E. Kmetz
President
Friends Board of Directors
