Stretching nearly 41 miles northwest from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg to small-town Prentiss, Longleaf Trace traverses landscapes that range from the bustling heart of Mississippi's third largest city to the rural farmland that predominates in this area.

The Trace is popular, and you may encounter plenty of other recreationalists, including skaters, bicyclists, equestrian riders, golf cart riders and pedestrians; pay close attention to the well-marked equestrian and road crossings. The Longleaf Trace website provides ample detail on Trace rules and etiquette, mileage charts and information on the communities along the route (note: there are special regulations for equestrian riders and golf cart operators).
