"Okatoma Creek is a tributary of the Bouie River and is about a twenty minute drive from downtown Hattiesburg. The combination of whitewater runs and calmer waters mean that visitors can engage in all manner of water sports, from intermediate canoeing to kayaking to swimming. The Class I kayaking run is one of the most popular reasons for water sports enthusiasts to come to the creek. It’s one of the few whitewater experiences in the region, and although it’s not at the high end of things technically, it’s still a moderately challenging run, with three falls/chutes. It usually takes around three and a half hours to complete the run of around 19 miles." - Paul Oswell
