Tips on Visiting Flag Island, MS


As y'all contemplate come'in up River, let's cover some basic's:

1) The "Po Po" is gettin thick on the River... seems we have enough tax dollars to place Rankin County, Madison County, PRV and DWFP officers on a 5 mile stretch of river... Scott County hasn't got a boat yet.  Behave, respect the Law, don't act the fool, pull over and comply with their direction....  Look @ the Boating Safety Tips for what ya gotta do.  Simple sh$$ like not havin a "throw " will cost ya $150 large......

2) The area around Flag Island is a no Wake Zone.... as in NO FREAKIN WAKE! not a ripple... on any given weekend there's a $1,000,000 worth plus boats parked on this spit of sand... we'd appreciate ya not tearing them up.....

3) There is no "reserved" parking on Flag Island...... Your buddy goes to get beer @ Ratliff and you want to save a spot.... NOT Happenin!  Can be the cause of a fist fight or two..... Put your crappy Wally World beach chairs in the water thinkin that spot is saved ....  results in crushed crappy Wally World beach chairs .....

4) We would like to think of Flag Island as a "Family" destination.....   However,  being fore warned is being fore armed.....   While a great many children are on Flag on any given weekend,  and all have a good time.. a cuss word or two might be heard....  the girls and boys might act a fool.....  a brief fight might break out (not near as much as it use to, we're getting old)....  I raised 2 Boys here, they're certified River Rats.......  and normal.......

5) Most of all.... you'll meet people from all walks of life... Millionaire's , poor folk, rednecks and yuppies.... on Flag Island, we're all the same....  a bunch of guys admiring all that beautiful Southern bred <"can't beat them anywhere in the world and will kick a$$ to defend them"> women....  Put's a smile on your mouth thinkin about it......
