• Chisha Foka — Information Cabin lot: short bicycle return

  Ridgeland

  Up to 2 miles return · Out-and-back

  Paved multi-use path; cracks / uneven repairs possible

  Follow the signed main path south on the separated Chisha Foka main path. Turn after 1 outward mile or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace. Walk any initial lot or access-drive interface. Do not use a road or private-property detour.

• Longleaf Trace: Epley to Clyde return

  Epley, Hattiesburg area

  10 mi · Out-and-back

  Paved main trail; natural-soil horse trail and spurs excluded.

  Complete editorial draft with qualifications, checked October 12, 2026. Current parking signs, the initial walking approach, crossing controls, pavement and services need a fresh local check before publication on Joy Riders USA.

• Rice Road multi-use trailhead: short bicycle return

  Ridgeland

  Up to 1 mile return · Out-and-back

  Asphalt designated sidepath

  Follow the signed main path west along the north side of Rice Road toward the wooded Chisha Foka connection. Turn after 0.5 outward miles or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace. Walk any initial lot or access-drive interface. Do not use a road or private-property detour.

• Tanglefoot Trail: short south return from New Albany library

  New Albany

  Up to 1 mile return · Out and back

  Asphalt rail-trail; individual bridge decks can differ

  Walk from the designated public lot to the Tanglefoot Trail directly behind the library. Head south, away from the downtown Main Street trail bridge. Retrace after half a mile, or before the first bridge, road crossing, construction control or unsuitable surface, whichever comes first. This is a short return, not the Ecru–Ingomar course or a ride to Houston.

  Short southbound library return only. Bridge and surface improvements elsewhere remain under review. Turn before the first bridge, road crossing or work barrier; do not attempt the full trail on the strength of this guide. Respect any library expansion controls.
