HUNTING, RECREATION, DE SOTO NATIONAL FOREST

JO80 is perfectly positioned to be an excellent hunting and recreational property. Located halfway between Laurel and Richton, this listing is adjacent to the 378,000-acre De Soto National Forest, known for its excellent hunting as well as hiking and horse-riding trails. This close proximity to the national forest adds more ways to enjoy outdoor activities. The site is nearly 800 feet off lightly travelled Will Young Road. Because of its distance from the main road, JO80 is a very quiet, tranquil spot for a country retreat/hunting camp. The deeded access road into the property has been well maintained. Used mainly as a hunting tract in the past, this site has some shooting houses and food plot areas in place. Mixed hardwood and pine timber along with a gorgeous hollow add to the site's natural attractiveness. Area wildlife include whitetail deer, turkey, squirrel, and other small game typically found in South Mississippi. Winding trails and internal roads offer access throughout the site and opportunities for nature walks and four-wheeler riding. NEARBY ATTRACTIONS. Nearby Laurel, MS offers unique shopping and restaurants, as well as the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art and the Veterans Memorial Museum. LOCATION. From Will Young Road via U. S.
