The Homochitto River meanders through sparsely populated Franklin, Wilson, and south Adams and the Homochitto National Forest before emptying into the Mississippi River. It is quite shallow with a sandy bottom and it is notorious for its flash floods and shifting sands. The quick sands are very dangerous, taking the lives of many in the past, and huge amounts of riverside acreage cave into the river each year. Planning and foresight can subdue these challenges. Although there are endless shallows and broiling sands, many return to the Homochitto for its sweeping vistas and wildlife, ranging from bears to alligators. This section is the prettiest on the river. The water very clear and gorgeous trees line the river.
