About This Access Site
Mhoon Landing provides access to the Mississippi River in Tunica County, Mississippi. This is a major river access point on one of North America's largest waterways, with an average flow of over 685,000 cubic feet per second. The Mississippi at this location is a powerful river system with significant current and substantial boat traffic from commercial and recreational vessels. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for strong current conditions with average velocities around 11 feet per second and understand that the river can be demanding even for experienced watercraft operators.

The Mississippi River in this region drains nearly one million square miles of North America and maintains considerable water volume year-round. This access point serves boaters interested in exploring the main channel, though conditions require respect for the river's power and navigation hazards. The site's proximity to Tunica County places it in the northern Mississippi Delta region with its distinctive river ecology and cultural heritage.
