Pascagoula

The Pascagoula River flows through the lowlands of southeastern Mississippi into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Its name comes from Choctaw and means “bread people.” The lower river is also known as the Singing River, a name connected in local legend with a tragic story about the Pascagoula and their Biloxi neighbours. Forests and wetlands border the winding waterway on its way to the coast.
