Rails-to-Trails
The Longleaf Trace,
Mississippi’s only
Rails-to-Trails conservancy project, provides just the right
atmosphere to delight in South Mississippi’s outdoors.
Hattiesburg’s Longleaf Trace is owned and operated by the Pearl and Leaf
Rivers Rail-to-Trails Recreational District. This project
passes directly through the Community of Greystone, providing our
residents with access to one of the best trails in the state. |
|
|
Longleaf Trace's Jackson Road Station is
adjacent to the Community of Greystone. Greystone acreage covers
both sides of the trail. |
|
|
The trail follows the
right-of-way of the old Mississippi Central Railroad, which ran at one time from
Natchez to Mobile and was involved in Civil War maneuvers.
The Longleaf Trace was begun in 1995, and is a work-in-progress. Currently, a
10-foot wide asphalt trail winds itself over 40 miles in length, from the
Gateway facility on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi to its
western destination in downtown Prentiss, MS.
|
|
The rail-trail is ideal for joggers, runners, bicyclists, wheelchair users,
skaters, hikers, and others who want to enjoy the beauty of the Southern
landscape. The Longleaf Trace also provides a 23-mile equestrian trail that runs
parallel to the asphalt between the communities of Carson and Epley.
Come take advantage of a great Southern Trail! The Longleaf Trace is free and
open to the public seven days a week, rain or shine.
