Moss Point - The River City

Scenes around Moss Point

The location of Moss Point is truly its greatest asset. The Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers are notable natural resources. The Pascagoula River has the distinction of being the largest unaltered and unobstructed river in the United States and the Escatwapa was named one of the most pristine black rivers in America. Earlier economic development plans sought to capitalize on these factors and promote Moss Point as an area for eco-tourism. Although these plans did not fully come to fruition, local advocates did succeed in the establishment of an Audubon Nature Center, one of only two in the state of Mississippi. The Center promotes the education of residents on natural resource conservation, the importance of native plants, rain gardens, and composting.
