Pascagoula River

The Pascagoula River boat ramp provides access to this major waterway in Jackson County, Mississippi. As a large river system, the Pascagoula flows for over 80 miles and drains a watershed of nearly 9,400 square miles. Boaters can expect an average flow of around 16,200 cubic feet per second and a gentle gradient of 0.5 feet per mile.

The boat ramp is located within a larger city park that includes amenities like a fishing pier, picnic areas, and dog-friendly spaces. Ample parking is available nearby. This access point is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats to explore the scenic Pascagoula River. Paddlers should be aware of the river's size and moderate current, and plan accordingly. Those seeking a more immersive experience may also want to visit the nearby Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Estuarine Research Reserve, which offer further opportunities to discover the area's rich natural habitats.
