Karma learned about Big Creek from reading about "The Man in the Dugout Canoe".  There is more than one "Big Creek" in Mississippi; this is the one near Leakesville, MS.  (I know, with a name as imaginative as "Big Creek", how could there possibly be more than one?) 

 

There are several potential landings on this creek.  For our first journey there, we decided to put in at the bridge on Hwy. 63 about 6 miles Northwest of Leakesville and take out at the bridge on Old Hwy. 24.  The driving distance between the put in and the take out is about 6 miles.  We decided to take our bicycles on this one, so that we did not have to take 2 cars.  We rode our bikes the 6 miles from the take out to the put in.

​

We paddled about 4.75 miles, and it took us almost 2 hours.  It was a beautiful stretch of river.  Check out to photos and videos below.
