Trails in Mississippi
There are 2 National Park Service units that include territory in Mississippi. The directory below links to every park guide we maintain for the state. For multi-state parks, you'll see the same entry on each state's page — the trail catalog itself is identical.
Trip planning from Mississippi typically means balancing drive time against trail effort. A weekend out of state can be more efficient than a one-day push to a closer unit if it means daylight on the actual trail rather than behind the wheel. Use the per-park guides to compare difficulty and seasonality before locking in dates.
Natchez Trace Parkway
444-mile scenic road following an ancient travel corridor from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee.
Vicksburg National Military Park
Site of the pivotal 47-day Civil War siege that gave the Union control of the Mississippi River in July 1863.
