There are quite a few trail intersections in this tight-knit trail system, so it's best to have the route handy and read trail signs while you're riding. There are lots of bridges, berms, and flowy trails in the system. The trails were constructed in a way to be bike-specific, but they are open to foot-traffic as well, so be aware of other trail users.

Even though they are labeled as biking trails, the Ridgeland Mountain Biking Trails are open to foot-traffic as well (just hike with the idea that bikes have the right-of-way on these trails). There are a lot of different trails and trail intersections in this tight-knit trail system, so it's best to have the route handy while you're hiking.

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.

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.
