The Biloxi River is a typical coastal stream as it begins very narrow and within a few miles expands to become a wide estuary. This route begins and Highway 49 where it is a small, tumbling, woodland stream and it ends at Three Rivers Road just a few miles before it expands dramatically and meets the brackish backwater from Back Bay. The first half of this stretch runs through national forest and contains shoals and log jams and is not floatable at low water levels. Piney woods continue outside the national forest boundaries. The scenery is pleasant despite its proximity to the urban sprawl. Forest is still prominent and woodland creatures and songbirds can be seen and heard.
