Deemed “Mississippi’s Little Grand Canyon,” Red Bluff is worth a visit all on its own. However, there’s much more to the site than the massive canyon. Nearby, you’ll also find a creek with sandbars and train wreckage. With so much to explore, you could easily spend all day at Red Bluff. Take a look:

An enormous geologic wonder in the tiny community of Foxworth, Red Bluff is the perfect day-trip destination.

You can practically drive right up to the canyon and take in its impressive size from above, but your fun doesn’t have to end there.

Many visitors choose to trek to the bottom of the canyon. The 400-foot trail to the bottom is a bit rugged, but doable for most visitors.

Once at the bottom, you can spend some time exploring the canyon, but that’s not all.

Accessing Red Bluff is pretty easy. As you approach the “Road Closed” signs, you’ll see a makeshift parking lot.

From the parking area, it’s just a short walk to the canyon’s edge. And just an FYI – Red Bluff is on private property; however, the owners have allowed visitors for years.
