While this area doesn’t have as many sights and stops as other sections, it’s no less important for the Tammany Trace Riders. For starters, it’s where you’ll catch the Saturday afternoon Chafunkta Bike Crawl to either Old Rail Brewing Company in Mandeville OR Abita Brewing Company’s Tap Room on alternating weeks. We’ll take this open section of trail to tell you about St Tammany and how St Tammany’s Trace got its name. Kevin Davis helped broker a deal in December 1992 in which the St Tammany Parish used federal money to buy the land for $1.4 million.

It’s 18.5 miles of biking bliss through the quaint town of Ocean Springs and along the ocean. In fact, more than half of this ride is either on the bike lanes of the Biloxi Bridge, park roads in Gulf Islands National Seashore, or oceanfront in Ocean Springs. We added out and back segments over the Biloxi Bay Bridge bikeway and on the Gulf Island National Seashore park road. If you want to shorten the route, bike less (or none) of the Biloxi Bay Bridge and cut down the riding in the National Seashore Park to just an out-and-back down Boat Launch Road.

Take Your Beau to the Hattiesburg Zoo I hope all you LSU fans made that rhyme in the header work… Moving on, the bronze statues at the Hattiesburg Zoo entrance tell the tragic story of Hattie the elephant and her deep friendship with a one-horned goat. Projects they support include the Giant Anteater Fund, the Jaguar SSP conservation initiative in Belize’s Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, recycling Mardi Gras beads, and saving critically endangered frogs in the Mississippi bayou. We take animal welfare seriously here at Coleman Concierge, so before we posted about the sloth encounter, we had a sit-down with Jeremy Cumpton, Director of Conservation, Education, and Wildlife, about how the interactions affected the sloths. The scoop from the poop was that the Hattiesburg sloths were less stressed than the average sloths without interactions.
