Chickasaw Hill Day Use Area

Chickasaw Hill is a quiet, family-oriented day use area and campground situated along the banks of Enid Lake in the forests of northern Mississippi. The day use area has a beach, a boat ramp and a picnic shelter. Picnic sites and the shelter, complete with grills and tables, make the area perfect for groups or family trips, and playgrounds offer additional recreation opportunities. The campground has 53 campsites with modern amenities including full hookups and flush toilets. 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 the home of the world record white crappie, which weighed an impressive 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and fishing tournaments are held annually. Boating and swimming are popular pastimes on the lake. Enid Lake is part of a dam project on the Yocona River. The dam creates almost 16,000 acres of water for millions of annual visitors to enjoy, and an additional 44,000 acres of thick, green forests surrounding the lake offer countless recreational opportunities for campers, equestrians, hikers and more. The nearby towns of Water Valley and Batesville, Mississippi offer shopping, hotels, restaurants and emergency care facilities if needed.
