When you get to the top, there is very little space, the scene is beautiful, but scary, if your horse spooks...it could be bad. Some bike riders were not very thoughtful, some parts of the trail are straight drop offs and not a good place to have a young horse or rider or a rude biker flying by.

Although this site seems geared toward riding horses, I am a driver. Infirmary Mound is perfect if you have a driving horse. Nice wide trails with good footing. Good parking for your trailer, water, and some shade. Great for picnic drives.

Can anyone tell me if you have been to D&D lately and where is it located in Liberty, MS (Hwy/street/road)? I see the post listed are old, so I'm looking for more recent visitors. Is it still open because the phone numbers listed are not longer available.

Davy Crockett Nat'l Forest (Piney Creek)

Trail Rating:
Camp Rating:

Had so much rain that long stretches are completely underwater, but footing wasn't too bad as long as you stay on the trail! Going into the woods to avoid puddles was hazardous! Still, at least half of the trail was still dry. Beautiful variety of forest, mostly flat, would noremally be easy, but with some areas like a swamp it goes to moderate. We'll be back!

Lake Carl Blackwell

Lake Carl Blackwell is a really great place to go ride. $5.00 per trailer to ride for the day. There is a spot on the trail, where i've decided you come to no matter which trail you choose to ride, that has a long picnic style seating area and room to tie the horses. Great area to stop for lunch. Last Labor Day weekend, we took a group that included children and stayed over in the camp grounds. Their are picket poles, and on the outer edges of camp there are trees for tieing. Most of the camp sites have a fire ring. There are 9 gravel sites for fully equiped trailers with picnic tables, electric, and water. They have a 4 pen covered horse shed. One of the people in our group put her three horses in one pen, and it was plenty big enough. The trails are well marked and vary in difficulty. We usually trail hop. The only changes I'd make at Lake Carl Blackwell is for there to be a shower house and maybe a pavilion built and trees planted in the open areas in the horse camp. Not much shade unless your on the outer edges of camp. The trails have plenty of shade though. Can't wait for Labor Day Weekend this year!

Used Meremac as a layover. Stayed in 2 story cabin closest to the road. Very nice cabin! Clean and quiet. Rented owners gaited horses and went for an hour guided ride. Horses were great, enjoyed the outing. Turning around with my 3 horse was tight but able to manage. Owner was friendly and helpful. Small outfit but has lots of character. Not too far off the highway, easy to find.

Trails narrow and rocky. We have reservations for a group for several weeks in advance, upon arrival we were told there was a mix up and we would have to seperate and take what was left many sites were open however they were not available to us even though we were there first. No apology was made - very bad business!!!

The trail from the campground has been routed away from the disc golf course. Also, new trails have been built with more switchbacks so that riders can follow routes that avoid some of the steep climbs. That doesn't apply to Sugarloaf, it is still steep going up and going down but the good news is that you don't have to ride it.
Many trails are shared with mtn bikers but we have never found this to be a problem. No water in the summer. Trails are well marked, make sure that you down load a map from ODNR because the map box at the trailhead is usually empty. There are lots of trail options for your ride but you have to ride the same trail to and from the trailhead.
