Confirmed from Reservoir Trails - Chisha Foka Trail, Hiking & Biking'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.
What runners say about Reservoir Trails - Chisha Foka Trail, Hiking & Biking
“On the road 6-7 days a week and always look for a great trail run.”
“Perfect amount of inclines, curves, shade and maps along the way!”
“This place is absolutely beautiful, everyone who was there were very welcoming and friendly, weather was perfect, felt peaceful just being there”
A must ride trail if you're near or on the Natchez Trace. It was a wonderful experience to bike it. It's so full of history. I have only 2 complaints. The upkeep of the pavement is wildly inconsistent. It runs from smooth to having cracks deep enough to see soil at the bottom. My other complaint is more minor.
On the road 6-7 days a week and always look for a great trail run. This is it! Perfect amount of inclines, curves, shade and maps along the way! It’s the perfect trail for walking, running, biking and dog walking. Parking is plentiful and there are clean restrooms.
This National Park parking spot is amazing and the perfect place to get directly on the Chisha Foka Multi-use Trail. There are restrooms, parking spots, water, picnic tables under a covering, a bike rack, and a bicycle repair station!
Great for a walk, a run or for cycling. Short hills constantly up and down make for good hard and easy intervas while on a bicycle. All traffic, walking, running and cycling should keep right. Pass on left when safe.
