Tombigbee National Forest
Mississippi

Tombigbee National Forest is divided into three separate parts - the Houston, Coffeeville, and Ackerman units - all located in northern central Mississippi. With a total combined area of about 66,000 acres, it is settled in the rolling hills of the coastal plain and provides many of the pleasures also available in some of Mississippi's five other national forests.

If you have time, the area attractions are not just limited to the forest. Just to the northeast of the Houston unit is the city if Tupelo, birthplace of Elvis Presley. Or, for those purposefully escaping the chaos of cities, take a turn through the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge abutting the Ackerman unit to its east. Whatever you do, this corner of Mississippi will definitely hold your attention.
