The end product of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway mitigation project, Crow's Neck is one of the Southeast's premier environmental education and conference centers, providing visitors to the northeast portion of the state “a natural place to learn.” Situated on a peninsula, jutting into the north end of 6,600-acre Bay Springs Lake, the Center is the heart of a 530-acre resource characterized by rolling, forested hills nestled along the lake's rugged, meandering shoreline. Since opening its doors for programming in 1993, Crow's Neck has been a leader in experiential, "hands-on" learning and also serves as an ideal natural venue for professional and private gatherings. Since 2001, Northeast Mississippi Community College, in Booneville, MS, has been fiscally responsible for the day-to-day operations of Crow’s Neck.

“Crow’s Neck is more than just a place. It’s an experience!” Jack Holliday, high school teacher from Grenada, MS

"With the new state (Mississippi) testing requirements coming on line, students will not be able to do well on those tests without some sort of hands-on learning experience." Sharon Salmon, teacher from West Point, MS
