It’s a warm walking path in the woods but there are snakes here so I don’t trust the other pathways that are smaller a stick is recommended so that snakes run away.(without legs)There are many drops down that are not safe.

Awesome bike trails and hiking trails, just about anything you would look for in either. It's worth the drive from Tupelo

These trails are ok for beginners. The big issue I had with these trails is it seemed to be impossible to follow any of the trails. The signage is the worst!
