The Wolf River offers near-pristine paddling for more than half its length. The stream begins west of Lumberton but doesn’t become navigable until the Silver Run community southeast of Poplarville and it eventually empties into St. Louis Bay. Its character changes several times making it fascinating to explore. The river widens and deepens on this stretch and as a result the current slows. The paddling now feels more coastal, as you pass large sandbars, and beautiful woodland and marsh scenery. Wolf River Canoe and Kayak headquarters offers guided paddle trips through the marshes in and around St. Louis Bay. Two take-out options are passed before reaching Hampton Road, the last access point on the river.
