About This Access Site
The Tombigbee River boat ramp in Fulton, Mississippi provides easy access to this major waterway for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The Tombigbee River is a substantial 8th order stream, flowing for over 400 miles and draining an area of nearly 20,000 square miles. With an average flow of over 33,800 cubic feet per second and a gradient of 0.7 feet per mile, paddlers can expect a moderate current on this wide, navigable river.

The boat ramp is located within a short distance of the Jamie L. Whitten Lock and Dam, which marks the beginning of the Divide Section of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Nearby recreation opportunities include the Jamie L. Whitten Campground, just 10 miles away. While specific hours and fees are not confirmed, this public boat access site should provide a convenient launch point for exploring the Tombigbee River by boat or kayak. Paddlers are advised to be prepared for the river's size and flow characteristics.
