TO DO ALONG US65
Activities,
Attractions, & Adventures
Besides
the scenery (which is like no other!) along the table-flat Mississippi River
Delta, with countryside landscapes of
cotton plantations, moss-draped swamps, huge recreation lakes, dense forests, and
unbroken miles of
cotton, corn, and soybean fields, there's so much more to do along the 117 mile
stretch of US65, and in the areas within a few miles of the highway.
