Pearl River County, Mississippi
Pearl River County is down in south Mississippi, right on the Louisiana border. It’s named after the river that runs along its eastern edge.
Picayune’s the biggest town, a place with a funny name and a lot of heart. Here, it’s all about piney woods, farmland, and small towns.
If you’re into the outdoors, you’ll love it here. Fishing, hunting, camping… take your pick. The Crosby Arboretum is full of native plants and quiet trails.
