We all loaded up and headed to Grenada on Saturday morning.  We set up camp first on the west side of the dam at Hugh White State Park campground.  This campground was very convenient, clean and quiet and we were right on the canal (aka Yalubusha River).    Once we had our camp set up we headed out to explore the lake.   We went by the visitors center to ask where was the best place to go.  This lake is the largest in the state of MS encompassing 35,000 acres and 148 miles of shoreline.  The worker there was of no help other than saying go to the North side and watch out for gators!  Off to the North side we went!  We went to the North abutment boat ramp and put in there.  We followed the shoreline to the North and the entire time stayed in one little "finger" of the lake.  There were several areas of beautiful cypress trees and we also encountered a large nest - believed to be from an Osprey.

Six of us  paddled an 8 mile section of the Wolf River today aka Ghost River section.  The weather was perfect and we saw a bald eagle, several snakes, skink, bull frog, giant beaver and the biggest spider I have ever seen other than a tarantula!   The water was really high and it made the river much easier to paddle since we were floating over obstacles instead of around them.

Tippah River Potts Camp MS 5/19/13

We tried a new spot on Sunday.  We (7 of us) paddled a 9 mile section of the Tippah River starting at the 178 bridge in Potts Camp MS and we ended at the Bethlehem Rd bridge in Bethlehem MS.  The section of river we were on was channelized and there weren't any obstacles other than sand bars in some low water spots.  We were told that just past the Bethlehem bridge, it's not channelized and you can float all the way to the Hwy 7 bridge.  We may try that at some point!
