Confirmed from Longleaf Trace Jackson Road Station's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Long asphalt trail where hikers, cyclists and runners workout among the trees.

Mississippi has some magnificent tree lined trails. Longleaf is one of those trails that is well built and provides both the bikers and the hikers an opportunity to enjoy nature while working out. The trees are labeled on the trail that enhances the walking experience.
Lots of parking here. We stayed at the best western & Angela let us store our bikes in that meeting room to ride the trail. Only did 28 miles, but they were all very nice
