The US80 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Chunky River, a large, free-flowing waterway in eastern Mississippi. This site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the river.
The Chunky River is a substantial waterbody, measuring over 26 miles in length with an average flow of nearly 800 cubic feet per second. Its relatively gentle gradient of 2.6 feet per mile makes for easy paddling, though boaters should be aware of the river's size and current, especially during high water periods.
The boat ramp is located just off US80, with a clear access road leading down to the water's edge. Parking is available nearby, though specific details on fees or hours of operation are unavailable. Paddlers and boaters should use caution when launching, as conditions may vary depending on water levels. Take-out options are also available by returning to US80 and turning right before the bridge.
