Longleaf Horse Camp
Chickasawhay Wildlife Management/ Desoto National Forest
The Longleaf Horse Trails provide horseback
riding enthusiasts with an opportunity to ride cross-country through
mixed pine and hardwood forests. A long 23 mile day loop and short 3
mile loop are color marked for easy trail identification and travel.
Beginners, as well as experienced riders, will enjoy the variety in
terrain, forest types, and flowering vegetation along the trail.
Longleaf is open year-round unless weather conditions require the area
to be closed.
Throughout the Longleaf Horse Trail system riders can see firsthand the results of fifty-six years of forest management. The once cut-over slopes are now well stocked stands of longleaf and slash pine. This green forest provides adequate water supplies, numerous forest products, and an ideal habitat for wildlife.
The trails are marked with orange and white arrows blazed on trees along each loop. The Long loop is marked in white. The arrows are placed at strategic points along the trials to make it easy to follow.
The trail head offers restrooms, picnic tables, hitching posts and a pond for stock water.
