The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Lock D boat ramp provides access to the large, slow-moving Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. This major commercial navigation channel connects the Gulf of Mexico to the nation's midsection, featuring 234 miles of navigation channels and 10 locks.
The boat ramp at Lock D offers a convenient launch point for paddlers, boaters, and anglers looking to explore this expansive waterway. The waterway is characterized by deep, wide channels suitable for larger vessels as well as smaller recreational craft. Nearby amenities include the Jamie L. Whitten Campground, located within 10 miles, which can provide camping and other services for those looking to spend time on the water.
While specific details on ramp hours or fees are not available, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway is generally open year-round for public recreational use.
