SUMMARY: Gordon’s Creek in Hattisburg is set to undergo significant improvements to boost ecotourism with a grant of over $2 million from the Mississippi outdoor stewardship trust fund. The project will include an 8ft pathway and pedestrian bridge connecting the Gordon’s Creek linear trail with other nearby parks, an outdoor classroom, and picturesque views of the Leaf River. The goal is to change the perception of Gordon’s Creek and the Leaf River from merely bodies of water to valuable assets that attract more visitors. Hattisburg’s project received the most funding in this round of grants, with the hope for construction to begin next year.

Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker announced a significant grant from the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund (MOSTF).
