about the trace
The Longleaf Trace is South Mississippi's premier running, biking, hiking, and equestrian trail. It is a beautiful, 44-mile linear park that extends from Hattiesburg (elevation 220') through Sumrall (290'), Bassfield (460'), and Carson to Prentiss (336'). A Rails-To-Trails conversion, the trail is 10 feet wide and paved.
stop & Explore
There’s more to explore than just a great recreational trail when visiting the Longleaf Trace. Along the way, you’ll find spurs that lead to excitement and adventure that won’t be discovered anywhere other than the Pine Belt of Mississippi. Venture off the asphalt and get way more than you bargained for when you hit the trail!
