Description

Added by Josh & Michele

Walk, run, or bike this popular path across the Biloxi Bay Bridge with a great view of the Mississippi Sound, Front Beach, Deer Island, and Biloxi's high-rise casinos.

This walking path is very popular among locals, and for good reason. The perfect excuse to get outside and soak up the South Mississippi sun, this path offers a great place to train for a 5K, go for a relaxing walk, or ride your bike. There are three benches on the bridge if you need to take a break or just want to enjoy the view. You'll also come across several bronze artwork plaques created by local artists accompanying one-tenth mile markers along the path.

The best place to park is on Front Beach Drive, between the Ocean Springs Yacht Club and the nearby convenience store.

There is also a little park at the foot of the bridge next to where you park. Appropriately named Bridge Mural Park, it features a mosaic mural arranged and installed by artist Elizabeth Veglia with the works of Patt Odom, Chris Stebly, Susie Ranager and Ching Walters.

This is a popular running/biking path right along the beach in Ocean Springs. It is a good workout and has a spectacular view from the top of the bridge.

Bike or Run the Front Beach Walking Path

Tired of walking on a boring treadmill? Then come walk or bike along Front Beach in Ocean Springs. It is a very popular walking path because of its beauty and amenities. Fort Marpaus Park is located about halfway down the path and has a shaded pavilion, benches, and restrooms. There are two piers and several volleyball nets right off of the path as well, so if you aren't in a hurry, go explore ...

Kayak Camp on Deer Island

Having once been part of the mainland, Deer Island is no more than a 5-minute paddle from Biloxi Beach. The island has been lengthened hundreds of feet in the past decade to protect against hurricane damage. Breakwaters/berms have also been created to reduce the effects of erosion on the island. The best place to park is at the Biloxi Small Craft Harbor next to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino....

Photograph the Wildlife at Davis Bayou Area

The Davis Bayou Area is an estuary teeming with wildlife. Its salt marshes serve as nurseries for crabs, fish, and other marine life; its coastal woodlands are home to pines, magnolias, and saw palmettos. The William M. Colmer Visitor Center is where visitors can view the park oriented film and exhibits, purchase items at the bookstore, and on most weekends enjoy a ranger-led program. Here visi...

Hike the Tuxachanie Trail to Airey Lake

The Tuxachanie trail crosses a variety of wetland locations including sloughs, creeks, ponds, pitcher-plant bogs, and lowland swamps. There are bridges and wooden planks to aid in crossing most of these wetland environments. I only came across one crossing that seemed rather sketchy, and that one was an old fallen log with a rope to act as a handrail. Intermixed with these wet habitats are acre...

Canoe Black Creek

There are multiple different boat ramps to launch at along Black Creek. I chose to paddle roughly 11 miles from Moody's Landing to Cypress Creek Landing, but you could do all 21 miles of the creek if you desired. It is about a 5-7 hour paddle to Cypress Creek Landing from Moody's Landing. That's including time for a few short breaks on a couple of sandbars along Black Creek. Though the water is...

Hike the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge Trail

The trail on the boardwalk is about a mile but you also have the option to walk the full hike which is 6.8 miles. It almost completely flat the whole time and its one of my favorite places to go near New Orleans. There's also free guided walks available as well with groups so you can learn more about the area. I started out in the guided group and then went adventuring out past where the group ...
