Take Out

This take-out access point on Okatoma Creek in Covington County, Mississippi serves paddlers completing trips on a medium-sized river system. Okatoma Creek is a Stream Order 5 waterway with a total length of nearly 67 miles and a significant elevation drop of 352 feet, creating an average gradient of 5.3 feet per mile. The creek flows through a drainage area of 282 square miles with an average discharge of approximately 494 cubic feet per second, resulting in moderate current velocities around 2.19 feet per second under normal conditions.

The take-out location is positioned in the lower section of the creek system, approximately 234 miles from the river mouth. Paddlers should be prepared for moderate current and potential whitewater features given the stream's gradient and the classification as a whitewater access point. The creek's water volume and flow characteristics make it suitable for kayaks and canoes, though conditions will vary seasonally with rainfall and water levels typical for the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi.
