This profile was built from public records (Tier A. The operator's own home page at blackcreekcanoe.com, checked as rendered body text in Chrome on 2026-10-23 at 2,351 characters. Black Creek is named fourteen times in that rendered text and in prose, not only in nav or meta: the page welcomes the reader to Black Creek, a wild and scenic river running through Desoto National Forest in southeast Mississippi, invites them to visit Black Creek as Mississippi's premier canoeing stream, and says Black Creek Canoe and Kayak Rental offers boat rentals for those looking to explore the great outdoors. The same rendered page publishes the telephone number and the street address, 20 Old Hwy 49 W, Brooklyn, MS 39425, together with opening hours of eight in the morning to six in the evening Monday to Saturday and half past nine to six on Sunday by reservation, so the town is operator-stated and not directory-only. The creek's character, the tannic brown tint from decaying leaf litter, the magnolia and wild azalea along the banks, the wildlife and the red bellies, bass, catfish and bream that anglers fish for come from the operator's own About page at blackcreekcanoe.com/about/, opened and checked as rendered text the same day at 2,132 characters. The five named runs and what a boat price covers come from the operator's own Rentals and Prices page at blackcreekcanoe.com/rentals-prices/, checked the same way at 2,208 characters, which names Trip 1 Camp Dantzler to Brooklyn, Trip 2 Big Creek to Brooklyn, Trip 3 Brooklyn to Moody's Landing, Trip 4 Brooklyn to Janice and Trip 5 Brooklyn to Cypress, states that prices include paddles, PFDs, tax and shuttle, and lists the Wenonah, Old Town, aluminium, Perception and Jackson craft. The waiver, the no-camping-on-posted-land and litter rules, the shuttle pick-up warning and the note that quoted mileages are estimates with GPS coordinates available on request come from blackcreekcanoe.com/trips/, checked at 1,847 characters. A second, independent source, the Mississippi Gulf Coast National Heritage Area's own listing at msgulfcoastheritage.ms.gov/natural/adventures-fishing/black-creek-canoe-rental/, a State of Mississippi site checked as rendered text at 852 characters, names Black Creek, gives the same 20 Old Hwy 49 West, Brooklyn address and the same telephone number, and records that the business also offers trips related to camping, swimming, kayaking, fishing and hiking. No prices are asserted. No founding year appears on either source, so none is claimed, and the phrase the business uses about itself is reported as its own claim rather than as a fact.), last verified 2026-10-23T01:05Z. It was not provided by this business and does not mean the business endorses GuidedFloats. Bookings open once the guide claims it.
Paddling goes down Black Creek where it winds through the middle of Desoto National Forest in southeast Mississippi, and five separate runs are sold rather than one float. Trip 1 puts in at Camp Dantzler and comes out at Brooklyn, Trip 2 starts at Big Creek and finishes at the same town, Trip 3 goes from Brooklyn down to Moody’s Landing, and Trips 4 and 5 carry on further from Brooklyn to Janice and to Cypress. Quoted mileages are estimates and the landings’ GPS coordinates are handed over on request. A boat price covers paddles, buoyancy aids, tax and the shuttle, and the craft are Wenonah, Old Town and aluminium canoes with kayaks from Old Town, Perception and Jackson. The water runs clear but carries a brown tint from the tannic acid in decaying leaves off the trees along the banks, magnolia and wild azalea are plentiful, and deer, wild turkey, ducks, owls, great blue herons and beavers are all seen from the boat. Anglers who bring a rod work quiet spots for red bellies, bass, catfish and bream. Camping is done on the sandbars, posted land is off limits, everyone signs a waiver and release before setting off, and a group that does not agree its pick-up time and place in advance pays an extra shuttle fee.
