The Tanglefoot Trail located in the Mississippi Hills National Heritage area preserves the abandoned railroad corridor assembled for the Ripley Railroad by Col. With its storied past, the 44.5 mile asphalt trail offers multi-use recreational opportunities as it winds through six communities, forests, fields, pastures, and wetlands in Union, Pontotoc and Chickasaw counties in northeast Mississippi. Bikers, walkers, joggers, runners and nature enthusiasts enjoy the beauty of the trees, the meadows, the creeks, the flora and the fauna with an occasional stop to learn a bit of history.

Here is your chance for a “supported thru-hike” on the beautiful Tanglefoot Trail® with other hiking enthusiasts and wannabees. We will hike from New Albany to Houston with overnight stops to camp at Ecru, Algoma, and Houston.
On this inaugural trip, camping at these locations will be limited to 15 tents (sorry, no hammock sites available), which could equate to 15 – 30+ hikers.

Those that would like to hike along as day hikers are welcome as shuttle vans will be available so you can leave the Trail and lodge overnight elsewhere and return to the Trail the next morning. Day hikers are welcome to attend all afternoon and nighttime activities. Tent registration is limited to 15 tents, day hiker registrations are limited to 30. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
