Discover the hidden beauty of the Gulf Coastal Plain’s piney woods by hiking one of Mississippi’s longest and most challenging trails. The Black Creek Hiking Trail spans 39 miles along the Black Creek River. Hikers can access the trail from the Black Creek Trailhead, Fairly Bridge Landing and Big Creek Landing. The trail climbs over rolling hills and meanders down to the flat land of the Black Creek floodplain, with over 100 bridges and boardwalks constructed to provide crossing over small streams and ponds. Approximately 10 miles of the trail is located in the Black Creek Wilderness. No drinking water is available along the trail. Only foot travel is permitted on the trail.
