Red Creek, part of the Pascagoula watershed, flows in southeasterly direction through southern Mississippi, eventually emptying into Black Creek, which itself shortly empties into the Pascagoula River. The Creek is shallow and broad for the most part, with tannin colored water. The flow is normally gentle, with some logs and strainers providing obstacles, especially at low water levels. There are numerous white sandbars which accommodate overnight stops, or make good places for paddling breaks. The Creek enters the DeSoto National Forest about 5 miles above Ramsey Springs, and remains within it for another 8 miles or so. There is a minimum of development along the banks, with few visible structures to detract from views of the mixed hardwood and longleaf pine flora.
