The Pearl River, flowing through Mississippi and Louisiana, is a slow-moving river that offers a peaceful environment for outdoor activities, including swimming. Water temperatures in the river tend to be warmer than those in faster-flowing rivers, especially during the summer months. In the warmer seasons, water temperatures can rise to around 70-80°F (21-27°C), making it a more comfortable option for swimming compared to colder, mountain-fed rivers. However, the river can still feel cool early in the spring and late in the fall, especially in shaded areas or after rain.

Swimming in the Pearl River is a popular activity, particularly in areas where the current is gentle and the water is relatively shallow. There are several spots along the river that are suitable for families and swimmers looking for a quiet, natural environment. However, as with any river, it’s important to be aware of potential hazards, such as submerged logs, changing water levels, and strong currents in certain parts of the river. In addition, the river's banks can be muddy and slippery, which can make access more difficult in some areas. Overall, the Pearl River offers a relaxing swim during the warmer months but requires some caution and awareness of the local conditions.
