About this run

The Jackson County Route 614 Bridge To Ends Approximately 2 River Miles From The Southern Terminus Of The Study Area

The Whitewater River Run in Mississippi is a popular destination for whitewater enthusiasts. The ideal streamflow range for this stretch of river is between 1000-2500 cfs, which generally occurs after heavy rainfall. The class rating for the run is class II-III, with some sections reaching class IV during high water levels. The segment mileage is approximately 2 river miles, starting from the Jackson County Route 614 Bridge and ending near the southern terminus of the study area.

Specific river rapids and obstacles include "The Wall," a large rock formation that creates a significant drop in the river, and "The Narrows," a narrow section of river with multiple boulder obstacles. It is important for paddlers to be aware of these obstacles and have proper skills and equipment to navigate them safely.

Specific regulations for the area include a requirement for all paddlers to wear a personal flotation device and for each boat to have a whistle and a throwable flotation device. Additionally, alcohol is prohibited on the river and all litter must be carried out. It is important for visitors to respect these regulations in order to preserve the natural beauty and safety of the area.

Whitewater safety

Check the flow before you run
Use the linked-gauge card and Regional Flow panel above. Class ratings change with flow -- a Class III at low water can become Class IV+ at high water.
Know your skill ceiling
Pick runs comfortably below your ceiling. Cold-water and big-water runs raise the consequences of any mistake.
Wear the right gear
Helmet, PFD, drysuit / wetsuit when water is below 60°F. Throw bag, knife, and whistle on your person, not in the boat.
Scout, set safety, and run with a team
Scout new rapids on foot, set safety with throw bags above the consequence pool, and run with at least one other competent paddler.
Respect the river
Strainers, undercuts, low-head dams, and wood can kill at any class rating. When in doubt, portage.
