Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge
This refuge consists of 4,199 acres in Grenada and Tallahatchie Counties. “… the refuge’s largest unit is a patchwork of old fields and small scattered hardwood bottomland forests bisected by the meandering Tippo Bayou.” Here is the refuge website. Phone 662-226-8286 Map
There is a boardwalk north of Highway 8, about one mile down Mabus Road. “This walk takes visitors through a forested wetland and terminates at an observation tower where hikers can look out over a field of grass and see wildlife such as white-tailed deer…… Wood ducks, hooded mergansers, herons and egrets, water snakes, and turtles can often be seen in the wetlands surrounding the wooden walkway.” Call the Refuge Manager at 662-226-8286 to be sure there are no difficult stairs to access the boardwalk.
