Projects
The Johnson Creek Trail
The proposed Johnson Creek Greenway project begins along Johnson Creek on U S Highway 61 and runs easterly along the creek towards the City of Horn Lake. The proposed trail will include portions of the Entergy Utility easement on the South side of the creek and portions of the Desoto County Regional Utility Authority easement on the North side of the creek. This project is made possible with help from private citizens who are donating conservation easements and land to the North Mississippi Land Trust www.nmslandtrust.org that will hold title to the property for the benefit of the Desoto County Mississippi Greenways program.
