Longleaf Trace, Rail trail in South Mississippi, United States.
The Longleaf Trace extends for 44 miles from Hattiesburg to Prentiss, featuring a 10-foot wide paved surface through forests and rural communities.
This former Mississippi Central Railroad line, which supported the timber industry growth between 1800s and 1920s, transformed into a National Recreation Trail in 2000.
The trail connects multiple communities along its path, fostering outdoor activities and regular fitness events that bring residents together throughout South Mississippi.
Eight covered rest areas with restrooms and vending machines dot the trail, while speed limits remain at 15 mph for all users' safety.
The route includes multiple bridges and tunnels, with an intersecting dirt equestrian path at Epley providing additional recreational opportunities.
