The Pearl River forms the border between Louisiana and Mississippi and offers some scenic paddling, especially the section that runs through the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area. The river widens as it enters Louisiana and splits into multiple channels. This trips launches from the bridge at Highway 90 on the main channel and explores both swamp and marshland area to the north and south. The multiple channels and waterways in this area provide paddlers with many different paddling options. The area is very rugged and full of wildlife, including gators and turtles.
