Ridgeland Multiuse Trail – Information Center

Such a great trail rather you’re biking, jogging, or walking you will totally enjoy being on this beautiful trail.

The trail is great for biking, running, or walking, and leashed pets are welcome. There are 10 paved miles to ride, without having to worry about being hit by an automobile. It’s a great place to cycle, with only a few road crossings where there will be much traffic. The section east of U. S Highway 51 has a good deal of shade, but the rest of it is hot and sunny at midday in the summer. Take plenty of water. Mississippi heat can be dangerous.
The only negative thing about it, is the section east of I-​55, between the Interstate Highway and U.S. Highway 51. The pavement is separating, and although they patch it, you have to slow down and watch for holes. It can be dangerous, if it is near dusk when you ride through.
Look out for walkers and runners, if you bike. If you jog or walk, please wear bright clothing, and stay to one side of the path. I almost T-​boned a guy, walking in dark clothes, with no light or reflectors, at dusk. Ridgeland does have a helmet law, but you should be wearing one anyway. A few bucks is not a lot, to protect yourself from brain damage or death.

The Ridgeland Multiuse trail is a fantastic 10mi long asphalt paved running/​walking/​cycling trail that runs adjacent to the Natchez Trace Parkway from the Reservoir Overlook to approximately 3mi west of Highland Colony Parkway.
