In Clarksdale and Coahoma County, we work hard to retain our small town charm in the face of today’s world of accelerated living. We believe that it’s good to enjoy life at a slightly slower pace, and with today’s numerous communication options, about the only things that we give up are higher prices and traffic congestion. With Memphis only an hour away, the myriad pleasures of a major metropolitan area are right at our doorstep. And when you add in the world-class entertainment regularly presented by dozens of major casinos and other arts centers in the area, we truly have it all.
Because of our mild winters, this area offers an abundance of outdoor recreational activities from hunting and fishing to boating and camping. Temperatures in this area range from an average of 41° F in January to 83° F in July. Normal rainfall averages 52 inches per year with 2-3 inches of snow.
