The Small Town In Mississippi That Comes Alive In The Fall Season

I know the Magnolia State doesn’t see the bountiful fall foliage like our northern friends do, but fall in Mississippi is still a fabulous time to get outdoors. Grenada, Mississippi is the perfect little town to spend a few days exploring, and I’ve highlighted a few of my favorite things to do in Grenada to inspire your next adventure.
The population hovers just north of 10,000 residents, which is the perfect size if you ask me. You’ll still have all of the amenities, restaurants, and shopping opportunities that bigger cities offer while still feeling that small-town charm. Grenada is less than 2 hours away from Jackson, 1.5 hours from Memphis, and about an hour away from Oxford.
Cooler temperatures keep the bugs at bay, plus you may even get to see some fall foliage! Mississippi tends to see the leaves change a few weeks later than most states, so if you’re planning a leaf-peeping expedition, check out our previous article on when the leaves will change in Mississippi for 2023.

You'll get your steps in hiking Lost Bluff Trail. The loop trail is just shy of 2.5 miles and covers some of the most beautiful areas of the state park.
