Kayaking the Chunky River | Mississippi

*NOTE: AS OF SUMMER 2026, YOU CANNOT FLOAT THE CHUNKY RIVER THIS WAY DUE TO ALL OF THE BRIDGES ON HIGHWAY 80 BEING REDONE. HOPEFULLY, NEXT SUMMER BRIDGE WORK WILL BE COMPLETED AND FLOATING WILL RETURN TO NORMAL.
What do you do in the summer of CO-VID 19? When most of your favorite places are still closed and it is stupid hot outside? If you happen to follow my 365 project on Instagram, you have seen us spending a lot of our free time on the river. So enjoy this day in our life as we show a little more of kayaking down the Chunky River in Mississippi.
These images were taken with a GoPro Hero5. I don’t get to use my GoPro often so I always love it when I get the chance to play with it. I learn more about it each time.
If you plan on spending a day at the river, here’s a few more items that could make your day easier:
Water shoes or flip flops
Sun hat or ball cap
