Shockaloe Trail (Multi-use) Bienville NF

I do not have any personal knowledge.  But, MississippiRob at http://www.myspace.com/robbyherrin might be able to help.  He lives in La. but wiht such a trail name he should know something about Mississippi.

They apparently have a somewhat developed recreation area with camping.

Marathon Recreation Area:

Unfortunately, Mississippi is still deep in the fog of internet hiking information obscurity which Alabama is slowly drifting out of, and probably won't come out anytime soon. Alabama's National Forests are under-publicized, under-published, and under-visited, and Mississippi's are almost totally ignored.
