About Burnsville

Burnsville is a quiet, scenic town in northeast Mississippi's Tishomingo County, home to under a thousand residents. Located right along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway at the junction of U.S. Highway 72 and Highway 365, it offers a relaxed rural lifestyle without feeling isolated. You can easily drive eight miles east to Iuka or about fifteen minutes northwest to Corinth for shopping, dining, and healthcare, while nearby Bay Springs Lake provides quick access to boating, camping, and fishing.

The community has a welcoming, close-knit atmosphere where neighbors know each other. Local kids attend Burnsville Elementary School from kindergarten through eighth grade, and the town's public library offers a strong collection of books and resources. For newcomers looking for peaceful country living, easy access to water recreation, and a slower pace of life, Burnsville makes a comfortable place to call home.
