TALLAHOMA CREEK FRONT GETAWAY. Just past the city lights of Laurel, MS is this little 50-acre slice of the outdoor life. If camping, fishing, hunting, off-roading, or simply relaxing with a good book under a shade tree with your toes in the cool water of the Tallahoma Creek sounds good to you, then you may have found your spot.
Situated one mile west of 16th Avenue (US Highway 15) in Laurel, MS, this tract has one-quarter mile frontage on Flynt Road in Jones County. Two gated entrances with recently mulched and cleared trails provide excellent access to the interior of the tract. There are spots on this listing that could be suitable for a camp house on pilings.
OUTDOOR POSSIBILITIES. A beautiful mix of young and mature pines and hardwoods offer plenty of natural habitat for the local whitetail deer and turkey frequently seen on this site. There are places for possible green patches and/or hunting stands. Tallahoma Creek and a pair of oxbow ponds offer natural watering holes for the wildlife. Additionally, JO50 is located in the Mississippi Migratory Flyway for waterfowl, and the oxbow ponds are great places to set up duck hunting blinds.
However, the main attraction of this property is the Tallahoma Creek, which flows from the top of the property all the way to the Flynt Road Bridge at the tract's southern boundary. More than six-tenths of a mile of creek frontage features multiple sandbars suitable for camping and fishing. The sandbars provide some nice areas to camp out near the creek or to have a bonfire/cookout. Seasonal floating of the creek is also a possibility.
