Hikers who come to Mississippi quickly discover the naturally beautiful
topography awaiting them.
From Appalachian Mountain foothill country in beautiful Tishomingo
State Park, to the Mississippi River bluffs in the Vicksburg National
Military Park, hikers will be thrilled by the natural sights and sounds
of the heart of Mississippi. Miles of trails are available statewide.
Hikers will also enjoy viewing the colorful migrating and resident
birds, invertibrates, rare land snails and fossils. The 13-mile Appalachian
trail system around Bear Creek in Tishomingo State Park and the two
federally-designated wilderness areas of the 41-mile Black Creek Recreation
Trail and the Gulf Shores National Seashore Park's Horn Island provide
a good overview of the diverse opportunities available in Mississippi.
Clark Creek Natural Area,
with
its rugged terrain and numerous waterfalls, is an extraordinary place
that's not to be missed.
