Choctaw Chief Greenwood Leflore opened the Delta’s swampland to European settlers in the 1800s, and Greenwood was soon incorporated as his namesake. The area remains abundant in vegetation and wildlife thanks to its fertile, alluvial soil. Enjoy this natural splendor at the Yazoo River Trail and Arboretum, where you can wander through verdant parkland or take to the water by boat or kayak.
