Truly One-Of-A-Kind, Flat Rock Trail Offers Access To Mississippi’s Only Rock Climbing Area
If it’s an adventure you’re after, then a trek down Flat Rock Trail is sure to suffice. Spanning three miles, it’s not too long; however, it’s brimming with incredible natural beauty, including rock outcroppings and bluffs. What’s more, it leads to the state’s only rock climbing area. Take a look:
Easily one of Mississippi’s best outdoor attractions, Tishomingo State Park has a lot going for it, including one of the few swinging bridges in the state.
Approximately three miles in length and deemed “moderate” in intensity, the trail winds through a world of large rock outcroppings and spring-fed streams, into the woods, and around Haynes Lake.
If you plan on doing some rock climbing, keep in mind that a permit is required. (Permits, along with Climbing Guides, can be obtained at the park office.)
For more information, call Tishomingo State Park at (662) 438-6914. You can also visit the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks website or Facebook page.
