Point Pleasant

The Point Pleasant boat ramp provides easy access to the Yocona River and Enid Lake for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. Located within the Plum Point Campground, the ramp is part of a larger recreation area managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The Yocona River is a moderately sized waterway that flows into Enid Lake, a popular lake known for family camping and water sports. Paddlers can expect a mix of calm, open water as well as some gentle current, depending on water levels and gate openings at the dam. Boaters should check the Vicksburg District's river bulletin for the latest information on flow rates and water levels.

Amenities at the Point Pleasant access site include a comfort station, playground, beach, and the boat ramp itself. While a fee may be charged at some Enid Lake boat ramps, Point Pleasant is one of the free public launch sites available to visitors. Nearby campgrounds at Plum Point and Long Branch provide additional opportunities for overnight stays and exploration of the wider lake and river system.
