181.4 LBD Koch Gathering Systems, Darrow Oil Field Wharf

Philadelphia Point/ Eighty-One Mile Point Greenspace

The Philadelphia Point/ Eighty-One Mile Point Greenspace is corrupted by the very noisy and 24-activity at L&L Dry Bulk Transfer. Still, it is worth noting that a mosaic-type patchwork quilt of green spaces is completed by these two forested places, and made more valuable by the nearby Claiborne Island and Avoca Island. The birds connect the dots here, as they make daily trips for foraging, and as they flock through the region in their annual migrations. Even though separated by agriculture and industry, these remnants of the once unbroken forest remain important pieces in the health of the Lower Mississippi.

181 - 179 RBD Philadelphia Point

Possible camping or picnicking up to 25BR, but noisy place. Philadelphia Point offers beautiful picnicking on a long shelf of sand backed by willow trees (which should be dry up to 25BR) and reaches is highest prominences around 180 RBD, and then descends gradually towards 181 RBD (dry up to 15BR). But you probably won’t want to camp here for the very noisy L&L dry bulk transfer on the opposite shore. The natural sandy banks continue downstream of Philadelphia Point down to 179 RBD with no rip-rap, but are only dry in low water, up to 12 BR.
