Description
The view of the Pearl River from the River Bend picnic area makes this one of the prettiest picnic spots along the Natchez Trace Parkway.
The river was initially discovered in 1698 by the French Explorer, Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d’Iberville, who sailed into the mouth of the river and found pearls. He named it “River of Pearls.” The last 75 miles of the Pearl River has been the boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana since 1812.
River Bend is located at Natchez Trace Parkway milepost #122.6 near Canton, Mississippi.
