WATER SOURCE

Scott's Brach Camp is a well-hidden camp surrounded by tall ridges - looks will be deceiving! The Campsite Center is nestled in a small pocket of mature hardwoods along the branch and surrounded by a mature pine plantation forest. It has a "Challenging" difficulty rating due to its tricky, short "off-trail" trek to the campsite. There is parking at the Forest Service gate for 2 vehicles. The Starting Point for this Camp is at the Forest Service Gate/Parking Area. This gate is 3/4's down Forest Service Road 159 on your left. Two "off-trail" starting points aid your trek to the Camp center. The water source is Scott's Branch, which runs East & West through the Homochitto National Forest and is smaller in width but usually still holds running water.


It can accommodate up to 3 shelters. The Hike is approx. 1,154 yards to Wild Camp Center from Parking/Forest Service Gate.
