Sign in to contribute

Wilkinson County sits in the extreme southwest corner of Mississippi, where rolling loess bluffs give way to hardwood river bottoms along the Homochitto and Buffalo Rivers. The Homochitto National Forest anchors public hunting in the county, providing substantial dispersed acreage for deer and turkey hunters. Remote and lightly populated, Wilkinson offers a genuine big-woods experience rare in the Deep South.
