Central and Southern Mississippi combine outdoor adventure with rich history. The Natchez Trace Parkway, a 444-mile scenic byway, is ideal for both cycling and hiking, especially near Jackson, Ridgeland, and Clinton.
Stop at one of the many scenic overlooks or historic landmarks to spread out a blanket and enjoy lunch under towering, majestic trees.
LeFleur’s Bluff State Park in Jackson also offers trails, paddle opportunities, and grassy picnic areas.
Experienced hikers should consider exploring a hidden gem of Mississippi by hiking at Red Bluff, often called “Mississippi’s Little Grand Canyon.”
Experience dramatic and colorful landscapes unlike anywhere else in the state. Further south, bike or hike along the Longleaf Trace, a 44-mile trail from Hattiesburg to Prentiss, winding through pine forests and small towns.
Explore nature trails in places like Shepard State Park and Gulf Islands National Seashore. With wide, flat trails and bike-friendly communities, the Gulf Coast is perfect for leisurely rides or full-day coastal adventures, providing breathtaking views, white sandy beaches, and historic homes.
