About
Chickasaw Hill Day Use Area sits along the banks of Enid Lake in the lush forests of northern Mississippi. The facility is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and provides a variety of recreational amenities for day visitors, including a swim beach, boat ramp, playground, and picnic sites with grills and tables. A large picnic shelter is available for group reservations.
Enid Lake has been recognized as one of America's Top 10 Fishing Spots, renowned for white crappie, bass, and catfish. The lake holds the world record for white crappie at 5 pounds, 3 ounces. The dam project on the Yocona River creates nearly 16,000 acres of water surrounded by 44,000 acres of forest.
This is a day-use area only with no overnight camping. Visitors seeking overnight accommodations should book at the adjacent Chickasaw Hill Campground, which offers 53 campsites with hookups and flush toilets.
