Goshen Springs

Goshen Springs is a boat ramp access point on the Ross R. Barnett Reservoir, a major impoundment of the Pearl River located near Brandon in Rankin County, Mississippi. This reservoir offers a significant water body for recreational boating, with the ramp providing access to one of the largest artificial lakes in the state. The Pearl River system drains a substantial watershed of over 8,300 square miles and maintains a considerable average flow, making this an important regional water resource for both recreation and water management.

The Ross R. Barnett Reservoir itself is characterized by a generally calm lake environment, making it suitable for a variety of watercraft. Given the reservoir setting, paddlers and motorboat operators will encounter typical impoundment conditions rather than river current. The water body's size and the flow characteristics of the underlying Pearl River system suggest adequate water depth in most areas, though boaters should always be aware of their specific location and seasonal water level variations. The coordinates place this access point in Brandon, providing convenient access for central Mississippi boaters.
