The Dummy Line Road Bridge boat ramp provides public access to the Little Sunflower River in Sharkey County, Mississippi. Located about 5 miles east of Onward, this free day-use site offers a boat ramp and other amenities for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The Little Sunflower River is a large, slow-moving waterway with an average flow of 248.74 cubic feet per second. Over its 29-mile length, the river drops a total of 86 feet in elevation, resulting in a gentle 3-foot-per-mile gradient. This makes the river suitable for a variety of paddle craft, though boaters should be prepared for potential snags or sandbars.
The nearest campground is the Delta National Forest, located within 10 miles. Visitors can also access the Rock Bottom Trail (734A) from the boat ramp site. While no specific hours or fees are listed, this appears to be a free, public access point available during daylight hours. Paddlers and boaters should exercise caution and prepare accordingly for the river conditions.
