Just curious if there is any decent MTB trails or any kind of bike scene (rails to trails, clubs) in Petal, MS.

good luck. not much there, but there is a system in north biloxi and several places in jackson - weekend day trips. in hattiesburg there is a rails-to-trails that's around 40 miles i think. it was built after i left. call shops in h'burg for more info on local dirt. most of what was there when i was there has gone the way of development.


for ms trails - or anywhere else - go to mtbr.com and use the trails locater - organized by state. definitely not all-inclusive, but worth a look.

I hear the best trails in south MS is at Homochitto National Forest. I plan on checking it out for myself soon.
