Veterans Memorial Park

Veterans Memorial Park in Greenwood provides public boat ramp access to the Yazoo River, a major waterway flowing through Mississippi's Delta region. As a Stream Order 9 river with an average flow of 17,377 cubic feet per second, the Yazoo is a substantial river suitable for motorboats, canoes, and kayaks. The park's location offers convenient access for paddlers and boaters exploring this 172-mile section of the Yazoo system.

The Yazoo River features a gentle gradient (0.2 ft/mile average) and moderate current (averaging 2.9 ft/second), making it generally manageable for paddlers of varying skill levels, though conditions may vary seasonally with flow changes. The river's substantial drainage area and consistent water volume support reliable paddling and boating opportunities year-round. Nearby Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge provides additional recreation opportunities for those exploring the area.
