There are informational and education signs posted all throughout the hiking trails at Simmons Arboretum. The trails weave in and out of trees with several boardwalks and bridges on the trail. There are several interconnecting trails in the small trail system, so plan your route before you go.

There is a great overlook of Ross R Barnett Reservoir from the parking area. This parking area is the southern side of the Natchez Trace Village Dam, and the lake is a popular spot for boating and fishing.

Cypress Swamp is a leftover flood zone of the Pearl River that you can walk around at mile marker 122 on the Natchez Trace Parkway. The walking loop is mainly a boardwalk. There is a load of wildlife to see in this area, and there are several educational and information signs posted along the way.

Roosevelt State Park has a load of recreational options and facilities. The camping, picnic, and hiking areas overlook Bienville National Forest and Roosevelt Lake. The Civil War Hill hiking loop is part of the newer trail system in the park. There are bridges at the major water crossings and informational signs at trailheads with obvious trail signage.

This path is an alternative to the paved Natchez Trace road route. The path is crushed limestone and gravel and runs parallel to the Natchez Trace Parkway for 10 miles. The path runs through historic Choctaw homelands. Halfway through the path, there is an information cabin with public restrooms.
