Glendale Avenue Bridge

Glendale Avenue Bridge provides access to the Bouie River, a large stream system with a drainage area of 669 square miles flowing through Forrest County, Mississippi. The river at this location has an average flow of 1122.81 cubic feet per second and maintains an average velocity of 2.05 feet per second, indicating moderate current conditions typical of a Stream Order 6 waterway. With an average gradient of 5.1 feet per mile, paddlers can expect steady downstream movement without extreme whitewater conditions in most water levels.

This access point is positioned well upstream on the Bouie River system, with 231 miles of river extending downstream toward the mouth. The elevation drop of 405 feet across the 79.27-mile main stem creates consistent flow characteristics suitable for recreational paddling. Water conditions are generally moving but manageable for intermediate paddlers, though seasonal flow variations should be considered when planning trips.

Paddlers using this access should be aware of the moderate current velocity and plan accordingly for their skill level and boat type. The site provides access to a significant river corridor within the regional water system.
