At Rocky Springs, you'll find a trail that leads to the quiet remains of what was once a bustling town along the Natchez Trace. Settled in the late 1790s and named after its natural water source, the town grew into a thriving community by 1860, with over 2,600 people living in the area. It had merchants, doctors, teachers, clergy, and skilled artisans, all supported by the surrounding cotton plantations worked by more than 2,000 enslaved people. But like many Southern towns of the era, Rocky Springs couldn’t withstand the blows of the Civil War, yellow fever outbreaks, crop failures, and loss of forced labor. Today, only traces of the town remain, offering a glimpse into its rise and fall.

Rocky Springs also has a 22-site first come first served campground. The campsites are generally private due to the large trees and most have picnic tables and fire pits. There are flush toilets, but no showers.
