Terrene Landing

Terrence Landing River Park was developed to promote tourism in Bolivar County and the Delta, by providing public access directly to the Mississippi River, including a location for docking and off-loading of tourists from Mississippi River cruise ships, scenic overlook, and public boat ramps. Terrene Landing River Park is the only public scenic overlook and boat ramp directly on the Mississippi River in Bolivar County and one of only a few such locations in the entire state of Mississippi. There is no other access location within 50 miles north and south of Terrene Landing. Additionally, the Park is also strategically located on an elevated spur of the mainline Mississippi River levee, which provides year-round access, even during high river stages. This feature is quite unique compared to other landings on the Mississippi River in the state of Mississippi.

In 2020, Bolivar County began making improvements to Terrene landing in order to start docking the American Queen River tourism boat. To date, the County has widened the existing boat ramp, constructed a new paved parking lot and bus turnaround area, and a bus accessible entrance road from the levee to the ramp. The County has also constructed a new public restroom building, pavilion and scenic overlook structure, and installed a new water well and water line to provide potable water supply to the River Park. Since the initial improvements, the County has now partnered with Viking Cruiseline and American Cruise lines to start docking at Terrene and busing tourist throughout Bolivar County. We started with around 30 stops per year bringing in around 7,000 tourist. We have since grown to 87 schedules stops for 2025 with an estimated 22,000 tourist.
