Lake Mars Pier now partially open Lake Mars Pier now partially open By Chancelor Winn | April 5, 2021 at 7:36 AM CDT - Updated April 5 at 7:36 AM OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) - Progress is being made on the Lake Mars Pier, which is now partially open to the public. It’s progress that Ocean Springs resident Ray Broussard believes will attract more boaters to return to Lake Mars. “As soon as they know it’s open, they’ll be here. There’ll be a lot of people here because that’s a popular boat launch also. Really popular,” said Broussard. “Horn Island is right there, Ship Island is right there, Deer Island, anywhere you want to go is right here. Graveline is right down there. Everything is really accessible here.”
