Dennis is a small, unincorporated community located in Tishomingo County. It sits at the intersection of Highway 25 and Highway 4. The village of Dennis is about 6 miles south of the town of Tishomingo and 3 miles north of Belmont. Dennis is very close to Tishomingo State Park. The park offers swimming and fishing at Haynes Lake, canoeing on Bear Creek, miles of hiking trails and rock climbing. There's a large lodge and cabins, and a 62-site campground along the shores of Haynes Lake. The park also offers a disc golf course and fields for baseball, softball, and volleyball. The Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway and Bay Springs Lock and Dam are also just a short drive from Dennis. The Waterway is very well known for its bass fishing.

Dennis Weather & Climate

The northeastern corner of Mississippi has a humid subtropical climate. There is a definite change of seasons, although "milder" than states further north. Temperatures remain pleasant year-round, for the most part, except in summer when high humidity combined with heat makes it uncomfortable. Average annual precipitation is 50 inches and distributed fairly evenly throughout the year. March is the wettest month and October is the driest. Some snow usually falls in the northern and central sections of the state, and is less than three inches each year. Mississippi lies in the path of tornadoes, with two tornado alleys crossing the state, from the southwest to northeast. Hurricanes and tropical storms mostly affect weather along the southern coast.
