Greene County blends wide-open pine forests, winding rivers, and friendly small-town streets into a lifestyle that feels both grounded and full of possibility. Centered around Leakesville, the county sits within the longleaf pines of the De Soto National Forest, giving residents instant access to trails, wildlife viewing, and quiet, starry nights. Weekends often lead to swimming, fishing, and camping at the family-friendly Turkey Fork Recreation Area, while paddlers enjoy miles of gentle current along the Chickasawhay River. When you want bigger-city amenities or university energy, Hattiesburg is an easy drive.
Families appreciate the strong community support for education through the Greene County School District, which offers a full slate of academics, athletics, and career-tech programs. Learning extends beyond the classroom thanks to the MSU Extension – Greene County, which hosts youth programs, gardening workshops, and local business resources. Book lovers benefit from the Pine Forest Regional Library System, connecting residents to classes, e-resources, and engaging events. For higher education and workforce training, nearby Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College provides an array of certificates and degrees that fit today’s learners.
