Picayune is
located in Pearl River County in the southern most tip of
Mississippi. Located along the Hobolochitta Creek, which
flows into the Pearl River, the land in and around Picayune
has an elevation of 60 to 160 feet. Picayune is a
peaceful community with gently rolling hills, clean air and
water, and short winters contribute to an easy-going country
atmosphere that is unrivaled and makes you feel like you
belong.
Picayune has its rural atmosphere and hometown values, yet
has its own cultural, educational, and recreational
amenities. As a bonus, New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf
Coast and their cultures are less than an hour’s drive away.
The Senior Center of South Pearl River County is open Monday
through Friday for anyone 50 years of age and over. Their
activities include card playing, line dancing, tatting,
needlecraft, painting lessons, quilt making, exercise
sessions, health matters, music sessions, luncheons, and
various craft programs.
