The Natchez Trace Parkway – River Bend (Pearl River), MM 122.6

As mentioned in an earlier post, the Ross Barnett Reservoir is actually an impoundment of the Pearl River. Just after the Cypress Swamp site is one called River Bend. It’s a beautiful view of the Pearl River and worth a stop. There are picnic areas and rest rooms.
