There’s no better way to end a great hike than with a great view – and the Morgan Hill Prairie Trail is proof! It’s just 0.5 miles long. But, just because it’s lacking in miles, doesn’t mean it’s lacking in perks. In fact, the trek is full of them – the best of which is an overlook at the trail’s finish.

Located in the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, the Morgan Hill Prairie Trail is a short but sweet trek that comes to an end at an overlook.

However, the Morgan Hill Prairie Trail is just as – if not more – worthy of a visit.
