About Black Island Conservation Area--Desoto Unit
DeSoto Unit is off I-55 via the Wardell exit, then follow the eastbound outer road south to gravel road 330 and turn east. Take road 330 for 2 miles, then go over the levee on road 333 south for 2.50 miles, then left (east) on road 336 for 4.50 miles. When the road turns south, park and walk southeast for 0.25 mile.

Sanders Tract of DeSoto Unit is an additional 2.50 miles southwest on road 338 (from DeSoto Unit). Park along the road and walk into the area.

These tracts of land were all in row crops, and are either being planted back into a bottomland riverfront forest or allowed to naturally regenerate. From Black Island Conservation Area--Desoto Unit webpage
