USACE Vicksburg District to offer daily, annual day use passes online for Mississippi lakes

​VICKSBURG, Miss. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District announces that Arkabutla, Sardis, Enid and Grenada Lake visitors can purchase daily and annual day use passes online.

Beginning mid-June, visitors will be able to purchase activity passes for boat ramp and swimming area use through the website www.recreation.gov or the Recreation.gov mobile app (available through the App Store or Google Play).

Visitors can purchase passes in the recreation areas by scanning QR codes on signs or from anywhere using computers, mobile devices, and smartphones. Visitors that purchase annual passes will have 14 days to visit any of the Mississippi lakes field offices to receive the physical hang tag for that pass.

The activity passes expand Recreation.gov opportunities at the Mississippi Lakes. Camping and picnic shelter reservations at each of the lakes are also made through the service. For many years, payment for these activities has been cash-only through the use of honor vaults in the areas. With the increased use and security of mobile payments, alternatives to cash are becoming preferred methods. Honor vaults will be removed once the QR code system is implemented and monitored to make sure it functions as needed. Cash payments can still be made for daily and annual passes, as well as America the Beautiful passes at each of the field offices.

For more information, please contact the north Mississippi lakes field offices:

Arkabutla Lake: 662-562-6261

Sardis Lake: 662-563-4531

Enid Lake: 662-563-4571

The placement of untreated, wooden structures in the lake basin for the purpose of fish habitat is authorized. Artificial wooden "grabbling structures" are also authorized. Natural structures may not be altered and used to "hand fish" from. Other structures made of plastic, PVC, metal, and other non-biodegradable materials are NOT allowed. Any person(s) installing a structure not in compliance with this regulation may be subject to a citation under Title 36.

The placement of trees are allowed along with an appropriately sized anchoring device which may be made of concrete, brick, or stone. Any anchor(s) other than these approved materials will be in violation and subject to fines and penalties.

Structures may not be placed within 300 feet of any designated swimming area or beach. These structures should not be placed in any areas  where they may become boating hazards such as directly below or adjacent to any boat ramp.
