I am often asked,
where I came up with a name like Chunky Bend.
There is a section of the Chunky River in the
eastern edge of Newton County, Mississippi that
makes a very noticeable "bend". This bend starts
just outside of the town of Chunky and goes
under a train bridge and Highway 80 and runs
north almost to Interstate 20 and then back down
to Highway 80 and another train bridge within a
couple hundred yards of the first bridges.
I greatly enjoy canoeing or "floating", as it is
called, this section of river. It offers good
fishing and several good swimming holes with
rope swings. At the end of the journey you find
Boyette's Fish Camp. The fish camp is a rustic
restaurant overlooking the Chunky River with
some of the best seafood I have ever eaten.
Their special is usually "all-you-can-eat"
catfish filets, but I recommend the fried
pop-corn shrimp. In any event, this is a great
place to spend a lazy afternoon floating around
the bend. |
