Buckatunna blends quiet, rural living with easy access to outdoor escapes and practical day-to-day conveniences. Set in Wayne County along the U.S. 45 corridor, residents head a few minutes up the road to Waynesboro for shopping, dining, and community events, while weekends often mean casting a line or launching a canoe on local creeks and the Chickasawhay River. Nature lovers have a vast backyard in the De Soto National Forest’s Chickasawhay Ranger District, managed by the USDA Forest Service, with trails, hunting areas, and seasonal wildlife viewing opportunities showcased by the Forest Service’s Mississippi site. Nearby state parks and lakes highlighted by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks offer additional camping, paddling, and picnic spots close enough for spontaneous outings.
Families appreciate that schools are part of the Wayne County School District, including Buckatunna’s K–8 campus and countywide programs that feed into Wayne County High School in Waynesboro. Health needs are covered locally and in town, with full-service care at Wayne General Hospital. Commuters benefit from straightforward drives on U.S. 45 and regional highways maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation, keeping larger job centers within reach.
