Tombigbee National Forest, National forest in Pontotoc County, United States.
Tombigbee National Forest spans 67,005 acres across Mississippi, featuring diverse ecosystems of hardwood forests, pine stands, wetlands, and open meadows.
The United States Forest Service established this conservation area in 1959 as part of a larger initiative to protect natural resources in southeastern United States.
The forest contains Owl Creek Mounds, a collection of five platform structures constructed between 1100 and 1200 CE, representing Native American heritage.
Visitors access multiple trails, camping grounds, fishing spots, and wildlife observation areas through ranger district offices located in Ackerman.
The forest division creates two separate sections, with the northern part in Pontotoc County representing 40 percent of the total protected area.
