Black Creek Ranger District
The Black Creek Ranger District contains diverse and unique plant communities and unique special management areas. The Black Creek has been designated as a National Wild and Scenic River and is currently being studied for management practices. Two wilderness areas, Black Creek and Leaf Wilderness, have also been designated by Congress; they total 5,500 acres. The Mississsippi National Guard for Camp Shelby utilizes approximately 120,000 acres as a training area. The Pail B. Johnston Mississippi State Park, which provides fishing, swimming, camping, picnicking, boating, concessions, and cabins, is located adjacent to the Forest on the Black Creek District. The upper part of the lake and a few campsites actually exist on National Forest land.
