About This Access Site
Highway 35 Bridge provides access to the Big Black River, a large river system in Carroll County, Mississippi. This is a significant waterway with a drainage area of 3,343 square miles and an average flow of 5,325 cubic feet per second, indicating substantial water volume year-round. The river at this location features a moderate gradient of 1.6 feet per mile and average velocity of 2.95 feet per second, suggesting steady current conditions rather than extreme rapids or whitewater.

The Big Black River is a mature stream system (classified as Stream Order 7) with considerable size and flow. Boaters should be prepared for a river environment with consistent current and be aware of the water volume present. The elevation profile shows the river has dropped significantly from its headwaters, though the access point is still relatively early in the river system's course toward the Mississippi River, which lies approximately 708 miles downstream.

This access point at Highway 35 Bridge is positioned along a productive section of the Big Black River. Boaters should verify current access conditions and any regulations specific to this location before launching, as information about facilities, parking, and launch type details are not provided in the available data.
