The Chickasawhay River flows for 159 miles at the fringe of the Appalachians and contains a variety of beautiful scenery. You will see pretty stone, encounter some muck, pass an intriguing region of waterfalls and alligators, as well as cliffs and swamps. Except for the lower reaches of the river where it becomes wide and deep, the Chickasawhay provides pleasant floating, with good fishing, and relatively little human contact. Because of its remoteness, wildlife thrives here and sightings are common. This section is wonderfully remote. There are long, lonely stretches of woods that are blissful to paddlers. But with the river deeper and wider, motorboats become more common as you near Leakesville.
