About This Access Site
The Letourneau Road boat ramp provides access to the mighty Mississippi River in Vicksburg, Mississippi. This is a public boat launch site suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.
The Mississippi River is a major waterway, spanning over 1,900 miles from its source to the Gulf of Mexico. At this location, the river is quite large, with an average flow of over 685,000 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 11 feet per second. Boaters should be prepared to navigate the powerful current and large scale of the Mississippi.
For paddlers, the Letourneau Road access is a convenient starting point to explore the river. From here, you can paddle downstream approximately 1.2 miles to reach the confluence with the Yazoo River. The nearby Vicksburg National Military Park also offers opportunities for scenic river trips and wildlife viewing. Boaters should exercise caution on the Mississippi and be prepared for changing conditions.
