Pearl River County offers piney‑woods beauty, friendly small towns, and quick access along I‑59. Life centers on Picayune and Poplarville, where local shops, farmers markets, and Friday‑night lights set the rhythm, while day trips to New Orleans keep big‑city arts, food, and pro sports within reach.
Outdoors, the region shines. Wander native landscapes at the award‑winning Crosby Arboretum, or spot wading birds and paddling trails at the Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge. Ballfields, river launches, and community festivals fill the calendar, including Poplarville’s beloved Blueberry Jubilee.
Families appreciate strong education choices. The Pearl River County School District, Picayune School District, and Poplarville School District offer diverse academics, career‑tech, and extracurriculars. For college and workforce training, Pearl River Community College provides respected programs, dual‑enrollment pathways, and performing arts in Poplarville.
Housing spans historic cottages, new subdivisions, and acreage with room for gardens or a shop. Commutes are straightforward, healthcare and services are close at hand, and weekend options range from fishing a blackwater creek to catching a touring act just down the interstate.
