Southaven's real value is its proximity to bigger places. Memphis is twenty minutes north and unmissable — Graceland, the Stax Museum, the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, and Beale Street are all within easy reach. The Tunica County casinos along the Mississippi River are around forty minutes south for anyone wanting a Vegas-style evening, and the Mississippi Delta blues trail begins not far beyond. Across the river to the west, the wide cypress swamps and bird life of the St. Francis National Forest in eastern Arkansas make a quieter contrast.
