Trail is NOT bumpy. Did a loop including downtown Hattiesburg. Beautiful and well maintained. If only all rail trails met this standard. Will say we turned around at Epley station. Another order asked which way we were heading because there were some dogs ahead that lived to chase bikes— but you’re ok if you walk past them.
The Tammany Trace is one of the best trails I've ridden so far! The trail surface is nearly flawless, the bathrooms are spotless and I saw a few Parish employees on the trail ensuring that the trail was clean and clear. I started just short of MM 1 to avoid the bridge closure in Covington and rode to the Bonfouca-Carollo trailhead in Sidell which made for a ride just over 50 wonderful miles.
The many trailheads offered water fountains, bathrooms and welcoming towns to stop in for food or refreshments. The scenery varied from suburban to wetlands. The trail is well marked and I found the motorists to be very polite at the road crossings. The Tammany Trace is perfect and well worth visiting, you will not regret riding this trail!
Mississippi has a real jewel in the Longleaf Trace. Parked at the Jackson Road station and covered from mile marker five to mile marker 20 for a 30 mile roun and like the smooth surface of the trail itself we’re all in good shape. All in all this is a very, very good rail trail and I thoroughly enjoyed my ride.
Good shade. Some bumps but mostly marked. Stayed out of Hattiesburg.
Excellent ride. Stopped at Lancombe Bridge, Fontainebleau State Park, Abita Springs Cafe and Abita Springs Taproom. The bridge is still out southeast of downtown Covington so sadly could not complete the ride. Check operating hours for museums etc .we rode on a Monday and many places, including restaurants were closed.
Started in Prentiss—the trail from there to Sumrall had quite a few bumps and cracks (primarily due to tree roots). Bathrooms were locked but drinking fountains were operational. The section from Sumrall to Hattiesburg was in excellent condition.recently paved. Bathrooms were open. Would easily ride again! (We were on road bikes and one gravel bike.)
But the bridge is out in Covington. We started our ride in Covington and was told that the bridge was out. That's fine but NO signage to navigate the detour. Since we have this app we figured it out, walked our bikes across a very busy bridge and eventually got back on the trail. But they should have it marked. Now for the good part. Great trail, best we have ever been on. Had lunch at the abita springs cafe, visited the Abita Mystery House of super cool collectibles and spoke to the owner for quite some time. Rode on a cool day in December about 6 miles each direction. Flat, interesting ride. Highly recommend
We had a great two day ride weather was great and trail was great also.
Kudos St. Tammany Parish for this beautiful and safe trail. What a treasure.
Tried to start in Covington. Bridge out so had to ride around this on the busy highway. Otherwise trail in very good condition. A lot of cross roads that you have to slow down or stop for. Shaded for the most part. A lot of people on the trail which is nice to see
Beware of the downtown area. Very few drivers stopped for us in crosswalks. I also had one driver sharing the bike lane with me. If that bothers you, start at mile 5
