The Big Black River slices diagonally across the state from northeast to southwest. It contains elements of both the Mississippi Delta and the piney hills and it includes sandbars and a few red clay bluffs. Some of the highlights found on this river include lush forest, plenty of sloughs for exploring, and great catfishing, but it is very muddy and the current is slow. The woods and wildlife make it worth it and paddlers return in spite of the mud. On this stretch of river, Campbell Swamp extends to the right several miles below the take-out and impressive stands of cypress and tupelo gum can be seen from the water. A rustic fallen-in bridge gives a bit of antiquity to the scenery.
