Mississippi’s Enchanted Forest Nature Trail Is Just As Magical As It Sounds
Think enchanted forests exist only in fairy tales? Think again. The Magnolia State just so happens to be home to its very own enchanted forest. Every bit as magical as it sounds, it’s filled with fairy houses, insect hotels, and other delightful sites. Though it seems like something from a faraway land, the enchanted forest can be easily accessed via a hidden nature trail. Take a look:
Not far from the state’s coastline, near the intersection of Hwy 90 and Fort Henry Rd. in Pass Christian, lies a hidden nature trail.
A fun-filled trail like no other, this one is lined with interactive play stations as well as lots of magical sites that look like they came straight from the pages of storybook.
There are also plenty of opportunities for hands-on fun, regardless of your age. Visitors are encouraged to create nature collages, fairy houses, and tree ring etchings.
The Enchanted Nature Trail is located near the intersection of Hwy 90 and Fort Henry Rd. in Pass Christian, MS 39571. To get there, turn North onto Fort Henry Rd. from Hwy 90, and you’ll see a driveway, which leads to the parking area, on your left. For more information, call (228) 435-9191 or visit the trail’s website or Facebook page.
