Sharkey County, Mississippi

Sharkey County lies in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. This county borders the Yazoo River with rolling fields of cotton stretching far.
Sharkey County isn’t big on flashy attractions. Instead, it’s all about the little things like the way neighbors wave as they pass on dusty roads… or the smell of barbecue wafting through the air on weekends.
Visitors might get a kick out of the old courthouse in Rolling Fork, the county seat. Delta National Forest covers the southeast section. It’s seen its fair share of drama over the years.
