Black Creek Wilderness is located within Desoto National Forest.

The Black Creek National Recreation Trail (open only to foot traffic) runs about 41 miles along the drainage of Black Creek, with about 10 miles within the Wilderness. Here you'll be on a part of the Lower Coastal Plain: piney woods growing over low rolling hills with a few moderate ridges. The relatively flat terrain rises 100 feet along Black Creek itself to only 270 feet on nearby uplands.

• Join the many canoeists paddling leisurely on the Black Creek National Wild and Scenic River. If the water level is running low, keep an eye out for logs.
• To truly experience Black Creek Wilderness go for a backcountry adventure. Stop by a ranger station in Desoto National Forest to get trail guides.
