Access Points

1. SR 166 Bridge - one mile north of Marianna. Turn R from US 90 (Lafayette Street) onto Jefferson Street at the courthouse. Boat ramp is marked with signs and is on the SW side of river.

2. SR 280 Bridge/ Magnolia Road - Travel from I-10 exit 142 South on SR 71 to SR 280 and turn right. The public boat ramp is on the left immediately past the bridge directly across from the hanging red canoe marking the Bear Paw Livery.

3. SR 278 Bridge/Peacock Bridge Road - One mile west of SR 71, 6 miles south of I-10 exit 142.

4. Johnny Boy Landing: SR 274 about two miles west of Altha, which is located on SR 71 11 miles south of I-10. Look for the sign to the landing on the left side of the road, and travel down a gravel road to the landing. This is a much better landing to use than the one on SR 274.

5. SR 274 Bridge - about three miles west of Altha, which is located on SR 71 11 miles south of I-10. This landing is not recommended because one must carry boats and gear down a significant flight of steps, which are not firmly anchored due to high water damage.

6. Lamb Eddy Landing. Travel SR 274 west of Altha, which is located on SR 71 11 miles south of I-10. Go 2.2 miles (past the SR 274 Bridge) to Hamilton Springs Road and turn right. Travel 2 miles to Lamb Eddy Road and turn left and travel to boat ramp.

7. SR 20 Bridge- one mile east of Clarksville which is located at the intersection of SR 73 and SR 20. Landing includes a wayside park with restrooms.

8. Jehue Landing - Located on CR 275. If traveling south, turn right on Jehue Landing Road and drive to the landing. The put-in is a dirt track.

9. SR 71 Bridge - At Scott's Ferry. There is a store, boat ramp, and camping area at Scott's Ferry. Stop at the store and pay the fee to use the boat ramp. In November 2008 the fee was $3.00
