Red Creek is a paddling gem and is shallow and sandy as it flows through beautiful forest with much wildlife and peace and quiet. On this stretch, you will float a few miles on the Red Creek before it’s juncture with the Black Creek and later, a few miles on the Pascagoula River. Red Creek lies within the realm of the Pascagoula swamp and this area offers some great backwater exploration. The final mile or so before the juncture with Black Creek flows within the Pascagoula River Wildlife Management Area. This route certainly provides unique scenery and great exploration opportunities.
