The Myrtlewood boat ramp provides access to the Tombigbee River, a major waterway in Alabama. As one of the larger rivers in the region, the Tombigbee has an average flow of over 33,000 cubic feet per second and a total drop of 283 feet over its 406-mile length. This makes it well-suited for both motorized and non-motorized boating.
The ramp at Myrtlewood offers a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore this substantial river system. The Tombigbee is known for its scenic beauty, with wooded shorelines and a relatively gentle 0.7 ft/mile gradient on average. Boaters should be aware of the river's size and flow, and plan accordingly. Additional boat ramps along the Tombigbee include Jackson City Ramp, McIntosh Bluff Landing, and Old Lock #1, providing multiple access points for recreation.
