This is in the De Soto National Forest and is a wonderful place for some leisurely trail riding. De Soto National Forest, the largest National Forest in Mississippi, contains approximately 501,000 acres and is managed by three Ranger Districts. The Forest, divided into two separate units, is located in the southeastern portion of the state. Its southern boundary begins only 5 miles north of the Gulfport-Biloxi area. Hattiesburg is located between the two units, and Laurel is just 10 miles north of the northern boundary. The numerous major travel routes include US Highways 49 and 98, State Highways 67, 15, 57, 26, 29, 13, 63, and 42.
