The Leaf River, like the Chickasawhay River, flows for more than 150 miles through southeast Mississippi before merging to for the Pascagoula. For most of its length it tends to be a bit small for many motor boaters and a bit big for many paddlers, making it an ideal spot for a quiet getaway. Many other rivers and creeks join the Leaf River along its course and it grows significantly before its terminus. This section is the first on the Leaf that is easily passable without too many log jams and shoals. There may be a few still on this stretch but a significant tributary, the Oakohay Creek, enters from the west and makes this a great place for paddling.
