Get A Peek At Mississippi Fall Colors On This Bike Route

If viewing Mississippi fall colors is at the top of your seasonal bucket list, we suggest a bike ride along the Tanglefoot Trail. Thanks to the cooler temps that come along with the season, a bike is the perfect mode of transportation for taking in the hues of fall. And while there are plenty of bike routes that offer great views of seasonal foliage, the Tanglefoot Trails stands out above the rest when it comes to peeping Mississippi fall colors.

When you want to hop on your bike and surround yourself in Mississippi fall colors, the Tanglefoot Trail is the perfect destination!

Located in northeast Mississippi, it’s bookended by New Albany at the northern end and Houston at the southern end.

It’s a “rails-to-trails” conversion, meaning it follows the route of an abandoned railroad.

Because of its location in the northern portion of the state, fall hues and seasonal views are plentiful along the entire 43.6-mile trail.

And though the seasonal vistas are stunning, the sights are sure to impress year-round.

Not only does the multi-use trail meander through the foothills of the Appalachians, but it navigates a variety of terrains, including meadows, fields, forests, and wetlands.

In addition to lots of natural beauty and fall foliage, the trail offers access to several small towns.

Aside from the starting/ending points in New Albany and Houston, the Tanglefoot Trail passes through Ecru, Pontotoc, Algoma, and New Houlka.

Each town features a “Whistle Stop” with restroom facilities. You'll also find eateries, shops, and lodging along the trail.

A great way to see Mississippi fall colors, the Tanglefoot Trail is the perfect trek for fall, don’t you think?!
