Start your adventure by visiting Longleaf Trace, a 41-mile paved trail that passes through forests, wetlands, and scenic bridges. Stop by Camp Shelby Outdoor Recreation for an adrenaline-pumping activity like ziplining or kayaking. End the day at Dunn's Falls, a natural waterfall where you can swim and cliff jump.
Begin your day by taking a guided tour at the African American Military History Museum, which displays artifacts of African American military service in American wars. Visit the Hattiesburg Arts Council for a variety of art from local artists. End the day by exploring the Hattiesburg Zoo and observing over 80 different species of animals.
While Hattiesburg has a public transportation system, it may be more practical to drive or rent a car to get around. Taxis and rideshares are also available, but prices may vary depending on the distance traveled.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Paul B. Johnson State Park for a relaxing experience at the lake, or the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhoods for a walking tour of the city's architecture. If you have less time, you may want to skip some of the attractions and focus on your top priorities.
