About this river

Tallahatchie River

The Tallahatchie River spans for approximately 230 miles through northern Mississippi. It derives its name from the Choctaw word meaning "rock of waters." The river has a rich history dating back to the pre-Columbian era, with evidence of Native American settlements along its banks. The Tallahatchie is also known for its role in the Civil Rights Movement, as Emmett Till's body was found in the river in 1955. The river's hydrology is primarily influenced by rain events, and it has several reservoirs and dams, including Sardis Lake and Enid Lake. These reservoirs provide flood control, recreation opportunities, and water supply for agriculture. The Tallahatchie River is popular for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, and it supports a diverse range of aquatic wildlife.
