ATTENTION: TANGLEFOOT TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS IN PROCESS
The GM&O District was awarded grant funds from FHWA/MDOT Transportation Alternatives Program and Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund to upgrade the Trail and bridges in a Phase 1 (Trail) and Phase 2 (Bridges). These improvements are vital for the Trail. To date, the contractor has been able to perform the work without closing the Trail to users. PLEASE BE MINDFUL AND COURTEOUS TO THE WORKERS WHO ARE WORKING ON THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT. As the project moves further along there will be periods the Trail will be closed. We will provide notice of the closures on Facebook. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to maintain and upgrade the Tanglefoot Trail so we can all continue to enjoy it.
