Mile 768.0 - Randolph’s Landing/Duvall’s Boat Ramp

LBD 768 Randolph’s Landing/Duvall’s Boat Ramp

Wide concrete ramp with huge parking lot, set perpendicular to river over the rip-rap. Parking lot notorious hell-raising party place amongst locals. Do not leave your vehicle overnight. Safeguard all valuables out of sight even if just for a day trip. This put-in makes for a good overnight back into Memphis (now 31 miles downstream), or a more luxurious 3-day trip. The Mississippi River tried to jump channel below Duvalls Landing during the 2011 flood. The USACE has since come in and refilled a gaping hole almost a mile long with heavy rip-rap reinforcement. Another example of the river lands in flux and mankind’s attempt to deter it.
