Red Bluff is much like the Grand Canyon, just smaller. The hike down the bluff to the creek and eventually into the center makes it a great day trip for many people as well as a great photography spot.

Starting about 300 or so feet up, Red Bluff offers beautiful views of a mini Grand Canyon that continues to grow with every rainfall. From the hike, to the road it has torn to shreds, or to the creek, Red Bluff offers many views to see some great aspects of Mother Nature.

On the map, the skinny road where you used to be able to drive along is now closed due to Red Bluff growing. Park on either side of the road where the barricades are and hike either on the road or along the left side of the Bluff if facing away from the Bluff. From there you can hike to the bottom and along a creek. Follow the creek and it will lead you to the center of the Bluff for some amazing views.

Some people do repel down to the middle of the Bluff as well. You can also fly drones all around the Bluff to get some great panoramic shots.

The elevation and out and back distance are both rough numbers. Not totally sure about these numbers but do give a good idea about what to expect.

It was beautiful, kid friendly! We brought our own lunch and had a picnic and made a day out of it! Lots to explore just a little hard to find if your not from the area!

This is a (very) mini Grand Canyon. If you're wanting to hike this isn't really the place to go, as the area is not very large, but if you're just wanting to explore a new place this is the place to go. There's a little creek here you can cool off in.

Red bluff is absolutely breathtaking! Looking down into the canyon is even more stunning each time you look down into it. It doesn’t get old. The train car wreck was also neat.

This is a fantastic trip. My wife and four year old and I hiked down the ridge and to the creek. The trail is a little steep in spots but was doable. Hiked up the creek and into the canyon. It was busy and you do have to overlook the trash as it isn't kept clean and has been used as a tire dump. But it really is a great spot on Mississippi. Allow a couple of hours to really get into the area.

Kayak Okatoma Creek

For this trip, I went through Okatoma Outdoor Post, a local Seminary business that rents out canoes/kayaks, hauls private canoes/kayaks, and shuttles customers to their landing. They offer three float trips between Seminary and Sanford (I chose the Upper Short to Fairchild trip). Float Trips The Lower Run begins at Fairchild Landing and ends at Sanford. This trip is approximately 6 creek miles ...

Bike the Longleaf Trace

The Longleaf Trace is an old railroad line that has been paved over to convert it into a running, biking, hiking, equestrian trail. Doing the entire Longleaf Trace at once is an extremely strenuous task - Took me 7.5 hours! Luckily, there are plenty of waypoints along the Trace. This allows you to complete the trail in sections or to start the trail at a station/depot of your choosing. The trai...

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...

Ride along the Tammany Trace

The Trace is an old railroad line turned into a biking, hiking, horse riding, trail. Most of the corridor is 200-feet wide, traversing lush woods that form a canopy overhead. There are 31 bridges in peppered throughout the Trace, and many of them are magnificent timber bridges, once railroad trestles, that are still structurally sound. The reuse of these original trestles has made the Trace a r...

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...

Sunset Stroll on the Mandeville Lakefront

Altogether this is about a 1.5 mile walk from one end to the other, 3 miles there and back. It's often full of interesting people. Typically around sunset in the warmer months, you can find a man somewhere along the Lakefront playing his violin. The music is beautiful. I have no idea who he is but he plays very well. Needless to say, this is a particularly popular location in this area. However...
