Access to great hiking trails is definitely one of the perks of living in Mississippi. Amazing trails can be found scattered throughout the Magnolia State; however, one of the best is definitely the Outcroppings Trail in Tishomingo State Park. Featuring a swinging bridge, rare rock formations, and breathtaking scenery, the enchanted trail practically guarantees a magical journey. Take a look:

Tishomingo State Park is located in the northern part of the state, just 45 miles northeast of Tupelo.

Situated at milepost 304 of the renowned Natchez Trace Parkway, even your journey to the park is sure to include unrivaled views.

Because of its location in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the park features massive rock formations that can't be found anywhere else in the state.

One of the most notorious features of the park is a swinging bridge, which was built in 1939.

Surrounded by gorgeous greenery, the enchanting bridge is both the starting and ending point for the Outcroppings Trail.

One of seven trails within the park, the Outcroppings Trail is definitely one of the most popular.

The 2-mile loop trail, just like all the park's other trails, is rated as "easy to moderate," so it's perfect for people of all ages.

Once across the 200' swinging bridge, you'll be treated to some of the most breathtaking and unique scenery in the state.

Huge rock formations, which once provided shelter for the Paleo Indians that used to inhabit the area, are plentiful...

...and create the perfect setting for waterfalls to form.

You'll undoubtedly want to devote some time to exploring these unique natural wonders.

Making its way along a ridge of huge rock outcroppings, the trail offers an excellent view of Bear Creek.

The winding trail eventually makes its way to the creek, where spotting wildlife, especially sunbathing turtles, is very likely.

Surrounded by Rocky shoals, lush vegetation, flowering shrubs and trees, Bear Creek is one of the top canoeing spots in the state...

...especially during the fall season.

Since Tishomingo State Park features RV campsites, a primitive campsite, and six cabins, your outdoor adventure doesn't have to end when the sun goes down.
