Everything about The Pascagoula River totally explained
The
Pascagoula River is a
river, about 80 mi (130 km) long, in southeastern
Mississippi in the United States. The river drains an area of about 8,800 sq mi (23,000 km²) and flows into
Mississippi Sound of the
Gulf of Mexico.
It is significant as the only unaffected (or nearly so) river flowing into the Gulf of Mexico from the United States and the only one the
Cfa Köppen climate zone. As a result, the Pascagoula has in modern times been the focus of a great deal of effort regarding its conservation to prevent the constructions of
dams on it.
Course
The Pascagoula River is formed in northwestern
George County by the confluence of the
Leaf and
Chickasawhay Rivers and flows generally southward through
swampy bottomlands in George and
Jackson Counties. In its lower course the river forms several channels and
bayous; its largest such
distributary is the
West Pascagoula River, which flows into the Mississippi Sound at
Gautier. The main channel passes
Escatawpa and
Moss Point and flows into the sound at
Pascagoula.
