Old Fort Bayou Paddling Trail
Jackson County, Mississippi
Trail Highlights
Our favorite thing about this trail is fishing from a boat or kayak and exploring the winding grass paths of the bayou’s inlets.
While on the water, be on the lookout for Mississippi sandhill cranes flying overhead. These cranes are a critically endangered subspecies found nowhere else on earth in the wild but on and adjacent to the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. There are only about 100 individuals remaining.
