Persimmon Hill Day Use Area
This is a day-use only facility with no overnight camping. The swimming beach and some picnic shelters are seasonally closed October 1 through April 1. Extended closures have occurred due to ice storm damage. Overnight camping is available at the separate Persimmon Hill Campground.
About
Persimmon Hill Day Use Area sits along the banks of Enid Lake in Yalobusha County, Mississippi, offering day-use recreational facilities managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The area provides boat ramp access and a swimming beach, with daily or annual vehicle passes available for $5. Three large group picnic shelters are available for reservation at $50 per day. Enid Lake has been recognized as one of the top 10 fishing locations in America, home to the world record white crappie at 5 pounds, 3 ounces. The lake covers nearly 16,000 acres with abundant white crappie, bass, and catfish. Note that this day-use area does not provide overnight camping; the adjacent Persimmon Hill Campground is a separate facility for those seeking campsites.
