Head north on MS-587 from US-98 and go about 10 miles. Pay attention because 587 makes a right turn at one point. [Jason Hoffman, 03/22/2011]
The state had to relocate MS Hwy. 587 several times, finally moving the road about 1/4 of a mile back. The original road is now closed to through traffic and is used at both ends for parking. Red Bluff Park is clearly marked. A short walk from the parking area brings you to the precipice. Rugged trails wind down to the bottom on both the north and south ends of the canyon. Some people climb the cliffs and carve their initials in the soft cliff face. [Tophat Arte, 06/26/2008]
