Arkabutla Lake, located in DeSoto County, Mississippi, offers excellent opportunities for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. The lake, which sits on the Coldwater River, is known for its large crappie population and favorable sailing conditions.
The lake has multiple boat ramps providing convenient access, though it's important to note that only the gravel ramp at the Highway 51 landing parking lot remains open during low water levels. Boaters should exercise caution as underwater hazards may become exposed or remain just below the water's surface. The Bayou Point Boat Ramp will remain open at elevations above 209 inches.
For those looking to extend their visit, there are several nearby campgrounds, including Hernando Point Campground, Dub Patton Campground, and South Abutment Campground, all of which are reservable. Visitors can also explore the surrounding Arkabutla Lake recreation area, which offers a variety of outdoor activities.
