There are so many great sites along the Natchez Trace Parkway that it’s easy to overlook a few. One spot that you don’t want to miss is the Chisha Foka Multi-Use Trail. Just like the rest of the Natchez Trace, the 10-mile trail is steeped in beauty AND history.
Located in Ridgeland, the Chisha Foka Multi-Use Trail is a 10-mile paved path that runs through historic Choctaw homelands.
At the cabin, which is located at milepost 102.4, you can stock up on maps and brochures as well learn about Choctaw history and culture. (If the cabin is closed when you visit, you can still grab a map from the kiosk in the parking lot.)
There are a couple of things to keep in mind when trekking along the Chisha Foka Multi-Use Trail. For starters, it’s open daily from sunrise to sunset.
It should also be noted that the trail has some gradual slopes, which is something to keep in mind, especially when traveling with kids or the elderly.
