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. On this stretch, big woods and occasional high, powdery sandbars line the banks. Springs pour through moss from undercut clay banks like open faucets and add to the beautiful scenery and views.
