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.
