The Bogue Chitto River is tiny and logjammed in its upper reaches but as it extends into Pike County, it widens into one of the prettiest and most popular paddling rivers in Mississippi. It is not too small that you are constantly fighting logjams yet not too big that you are forever fighting headwinds. It has a swift current with sharp bends and submerged logs that will keep your attention. The river abounds in wildlife, the water is clear and the scenery is gorgeous, alternating with woods and sandbars. This is the farthest upstream that is paddleable and still has plenty of logjams, yet it is a very sweet stretch. It has beautiful green scenery that provides wonderful shade. Birch and sycamore trees reach across the river in places to form a canopy.
