Three Day and Two nights Paddling and Wilderness Camping on Black Creek, MS
Paddling on a wild and scenic stream, hiking on Black Creek Trail, wilderness camping on a sandbar, meals served at streamside, campfires at night and cozy sleeping bags.Black Creek is a very scenic stream that flows through Desoto National Forest near Wiggins, Mississippi. The stream features shorelines of pines and hardwood trees, three story high clay banks, modest currents, tea colored waters and beaches of sand and gravel that make for superb wilderness camping sites.
By late November, in this national forest, autumn will be taking place with the leaves changing colors. If a breeze occurs, paddlers will be showered with falling colorful leaves. The long weekend will be a memorable one with scenes of Black Creek, the autumnal changes and the evening campout with campfires and cool temperatures.
THE LEADER will be Byron Almquist who has led dozens of outings to various destinations over the years.
THE LEADER PROVIDES the services of the guide who will also serve as a wilderness skills instructor, the use of the canoes and paddling accessories, an outdoor kitchen, group gear and four hot meals - two dinners and two breakfasts. He will be ably assisted by other experienced paddlers, campers and cooks
