For best results, type our address into your navigation app on your phone or GPS. Sometimes searching for “Grand Bay NERR” will lead you to a spot on the reserve, but not the actual building. 

From I-10, take Exit 75 (Franklin Creek Road) and head south towards Hwy 90. Turn right on Hwy 90 (heading west) and travel approximately 1.2 miles to Pecan Road. There will be a left hand turn lane here, but no signal light. (If you pass Pascagoula Auto Salvage and the Gator Farm, you have gone too far.) Turn left on Pecan Road. Travel approximately ½ mile and take your first right and cross over the railroad tracks. Bayou Heron Road turns off to the right. Continue right on Bayou Heron Rd. You will see the Center approximately 1 mile down the road on the right-hand side.
