This Quaint Little Trail Is The Shortest And Sweetest Hike In Mississippi
A day spent exploring any of Mississippi’s natural wonders or incredible hiking trails would be a day well spent. But who says you have to choose? Thanks to the Cypress Swamp Loop Trail you can do both – visit a natural wonder and go on a great hike. And at only ½-mile long, the trail is suitable for just about every age and skill level. Boasting history, great views, and an improved trail that’s easy to navigate, it’s probably the shortest and sweetest hike in the state. Take a look:
Located on the Natchez Trace, the Cypress Swamp Loop Trail can be found at milepost 122, just north of Jackson.
Totaling 0.5 miles, the loop trail, which is rated "easy," can be completed in about 20 minutes. Although, you’ll probably want to give yourself more time to explore the enchanting surroundings.
