Confirmed from Natchez Trace Yockanookany Trailhead MS 43'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.

“Once in October which was gorgeous and open.”

Great trail. Just hilly enough to get the blood pumping and great scenery.

★★★★★ — Cindy , Jan 2021

I've run this trail twice. Once in October which was gorgeous and open. Once at end of April where greenery taking over trail as seen in video, but manageable. I would not run this trail in height of summer for fear of ticks, ivy, and redbugs.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
