About
Wallace Creek Day Use Area is a quiet, family-oriented facility situated along the banks of Enid Lake in the forests of northern Mississippi. The day use area features a picnic shelter located at the boat ramp, making it an ideal gathering spot for families and fishing groups. Enid Lake has been recognized as one of America's Top 10 Fishing Spots, with white crappie, bass, and catfish available in abundance. The lake is home to the world record white crappie, which weighed 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and fishing tournaments are held annually.
The lake covers almost 16,000 acres of water created by a dam project on the Yocona River, with an additional 44,000 acres of thick forests surrounding the lake. Boating is a popular pastime, and the boat ramp provides convenient access. Hiking trails wind along the lakeshore and throughout the surrounding landscape, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The area is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Directions
From Interstate 55, take exit 233 and head east on County Road 36. After about 2.5 miles, follow the signs to the boat ramp where the picnic shelter is located.
