Mississippi River Paddle Trip
| | | The Mississippi River is truly one of our nation’s grandest rivers. Dividing our country in half, it has for generations served as the nation’s backbone and as a source of commerce and culture. It is called the “Father of Waters” and travels 2,300 miles through rich, natural environments and provides one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. An elaborate network of streams, oxbow lakes, forests, wetlands and sandbars trail this river and create an elaborate sanctuary to millions of deer, fish, osprey, songbirds, bald eagles, least terns and other wildlife. Its recreational resource contribution is enormous. Canoeing/Kayaking this river is becoming increasingly popular but is not safe without the services of an experienced guide.

Dockery Plantation
| | | C. 1895 Dockery Plantation was a 10,000 acre cotton plantation and sawmill on the Sunflower River between Ruleville and Cleveland, Mississippi. It was here that Delta blues music was born in the fields, boardinghouses and share croppers shacks. Blues musicians once residing at Dockery included Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson and Howlin' Wolf. The National Register of Historic Places welcomed the plantation in 2006. In its glory days, the plantation supported 2,000 workers paid in the plantation’s own coins. It became its own flourishing community with a railroad terminal, general store, post office, school, doctor and churches. Workers were treated fairly on the Dockery Plantation and were free to socialize and enjoy blues music in their free time so this place became a magnet for the nurturing of the blues. So significant to the Blues is this plantation that it has received a Blues Trail Marker making it a destination on the Mississippi Blues Trail. Tours are given by appointment through the Cleveland-Bolivar Country Chamber of Commerce/Tourism. This is a true deep south Delta experience!
