“The Grand Canyon of Missippi”

Red Bluff is called "The Grand Canyon of Mississippi". This natural canyon is formed by the erosion of millions of years accumulation of river and airborne dirt. It is over 150 feet deep, 1/2 mile wide and nearly a mile long. It gets larger with every rainstorm. The most striking feature of this wonder is the huge variety of colors in the soils. The large trees at the bottom did not grow there but slid downslope as the canyon walls eroded.

Update to my last review- rumor had it previously that this was on private property, well if it is no one cares if you go out there. It's awesome.

The Grand Canyon of Mississippi!

From Hattiesburg, drive west on Hwy 98 to Columbia. On the west side of Columbia, take a right on 587 at the light once you go over the big bridge.
The canyon is not visible from Hwy 587. When traveling on Hwy 587 north from the intersection of 587 and 586, you first must pass Morgan town, then take a sharp right to stay on 587. Drive another three, four miles and you'll see the first closed road to the right. Drive past it and take the next right. There are no landmarks; you are in the middle of nowhere! Drive to the end of the road where you will find another "Road Closed" sign.
