YAZOO RIVER TRAIL
Robert Johnson was a foundational figure in the Delta blues whose haunting songs and mysterious life shaped the future of American music. He blended raw emotion, intricate guitar work, and evocative lyrics that explored love, loss, and the supernatural. Legends surrounding his supposed deal with the devil at a Mississippi crossroads only deepened his myth, but his real legacy lies in his influence on generations of musicians. Despite his short life, Johnson’s music remains a powerful touchstone for the blues and rock traditions.
HUNTING
Greenwood and the surrounding area is an excellent place to hunt. Duck fanatics flock to ample acreage of prime game habitat for public hunting as well as for lease and purchase. Hunters also prize the significant local population of trophy deer raised on the rich Delta vegetation.
