Description: Well maintained singlletrack trails through mature pine forest and some bottoms. There are a few hilly spots and some fast downhills at times. Due to the tree canopy, these trails stay relatively shaded and can be ridden all year. The trails are well maintained by local riders, so the trails are usually clean, open and fast. Minimal sandy spots with the vast majority of the trails being hardpacked dirt with not much roots. Good Trail system.
The spot 277THD on the map is at the top of the steep hill, 1/4 mile north of Jackson road on the right. The topo map above does not show the "rails to trail" paved trail, which basically cuts across the center of the map between the two loops.

Young & fairly new trail system. Only a few short technical uphills. beginner level mountain biking. I live locally & ride these trails weekly.

You can not tell which way the trail goes. There is such a tight network of trails, I kept going around in circles. Nothing is marked. Someone needs to mark the trails better and make them run in a certain direction.
Similar Trail: Bethel is my favorite in MS.

These trails are really well maintained. The trails a fun time that beginners and experts can all appreciate. There's a lot of woodwork, but it's mostly to avoid the muddy areas. The "trailheads" aren't marked at all but there are some directional arrows here and there. I ended up finding the end of each trail and riding them backwards. By the time I got to an arrow it was too late, lucky I went in the morning when the trails were deserted. Also, the "No Trespassing" signs should be read as "bike at your own risk".

In Hattiesburg for the weekend and got a decent workout. Definitely could use more markings. Difficult to determine where to enter/exit the trail (for someone new to the trail). * Review edited 3/23/2010

Some good up and down. Well maintained and scenic. If you know the network of trails, there is about 7 miles of continuous singletrack.

This is a multiple network of trails on both the North and South sides of the longleaf Trace. Regular work is being done and some woodwork is being added. It is an excellent training course with a lot of technicals. Tight downhill turns, Uphill switchbacks, and fast DH.
