How big is Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge?
A. Comprising over 38,697 acres in Yazoo and Humphreys Counties, Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is one of the largest refuges in the state of Mississippi. Its expansive bottomland hardwood forests, cypress-tupelo sloughs, and meandering bayous represent some of the best remaining examples of the historically predominant habitat types that once characterized the entire Mississippi floodplain. With its close proximity to the state capitol, Jackson, the refuge provides a variety of recreational opportunities and a positive economic impact to local communities.
