Think enchanted forests exist only in fairy tales? Think again. The Magnolia State just so happens to be home to its very own enchanted forest. Every bit as magical as it sounds, it’s filled with fairy houses, insect hotels, and other delightful sites. Though it seems like something from a faraway land, the enchanted forest can be easily accessed via a hidden nature trail. Take a look:

Not far from the state’s coastline, near the intersection of Hwy 90 and Fort Henry Rd. in Pass Christian, lies a hidden nature trail.
