Turkey Creek begins in central, rural Harrison County and flows toward its confluence with Bayou Bernard just north of the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. The creek is popular for fishing, swimming, and canoeing. It is a historic and present contributor to the local culture and quality of life. There is an asphalt parking area, and a sand beach to the side of the boat ramp for kayak and canoe launching. The trail is 5 miles out and back. Expect a light chop in Bernard Bayou to flat water with light current in Turkey Creek with wet pine savanna and marsh coastline.
