Vicksburg Baws...Is there any public access to Miss River near Vicksburg?

You can park in parking lot at river walk casino and access riverbank.
Also, letorneau landing south of town will have access.

Go across to Louisiana and south. There is a four mile long sandbar a mile or so below the bridge. Caution - YOu mustcross privately owned land for any river bank access.

Going fossel hunting? Fifteen years ago, my grandson found a Giant Sloth foot bone on the sand bar at Rosedale, MS during a trip we made there. We took it to the Nature Museum in Jackson during one of their "What is this" days. They went crazy, since no records of this animal existed that far north, and the bone my Grandson found had to come from somewhere upriver from where he found it. He gave the bone to the museum. They cast it and the grandson, his dai, and I all have castings that look exactly like the bone he gave them. KInd of neat. Quite a few partial mammoth jaw bones have come from that sand bar over the years. The Rosedale bar is really hard to acess now, after the last big big river flood wiped out most of the state park there.


Google map Delta, Louisiana. YOu can get really close to the river North and NE of Delta. YOu will also find other roads on Google Maps that get really close to the river.

When you cross the river on I20 west bound you can see a little gravel road leading down to the water and a nice stretch of bare dirt that has been exposed by the low water. I think it comes down from the back side of a hotel parking lot. I don’t know of it is public…but it is there.

Do you have a Gonad's metal detector?

Most excellent

If the water stays low, there will be a ton of metal detector folks looking for civil war bullets and cannon balls.

This is a cool thread. Please post what y’all find.

Really cool of YOu to share

Don’t know whether to believe this or not, but that ain’t no Great White.

I think that’s a bull shark. They can travel upriver.

In the 80s there was a dirt road that went down close to the river, a little upstream of the interstate bridge, on the east bank.
