Oklahoma has some moderate terrain for hiking.

Louisiana and Florida are tied IMO. Both super flat and hot.

It is easily one of the worst. It could be a little better if the state developed trails. Instead, they build water parks at campgrounds.

The Comite trails. It's more of a bike trail but.

Florida has developed trails, it’s flat and not everyone’s cup of tea but the Florida Trail is a success that gets a lot of hikers. Louisiana could do something similar through the southern part of their state, it’s flat but some interesting areas and biodiversity. As far as I know Louisiana doesn’t have that though.

Come to NH in the summer, if you ever get a chance.

More hiking than you can shake a stick at...

I don't see how it could be closed unless they closed the main road into the forest.


I think that’s exactly what they did. But like I said, call the ranger station to make sure.

The Sicily Island Hills are nice for hiking. There are two waterfalls, a bluff overlook, a small lake, and some nice trails.

ETA; I forgot about Iowa. Let’s just say bottom tier is Louisiana, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. Maybe you throw Nebraska in as well.



Has some hills they call mountains.

This is in Oklahoma:

Plus at least in parts of Kansas and Nebraska, you may only be 4-6 hours away from legitimate hiking in Colorado or Wyoming

Big thanks. We like that area for a 7 hour drive from BR. Did a 10 miler there, but have never put together a backpack. That should be really nice.

My kid and some friends went to Red Bluff, MS today.




We were gonna go Last Saturday but lots of rain Friday night messed it up.

Beautiful area just 2.5 hrs from BR.

Lots of people hiking/running comite right now, visiting the river beaches. The mtn bike club maintains it so that could be the impression that’s it’s only for bikes. As long as you practice some trail etiquette, they’re good. It connects to hooper rd park as well, it has some nice lake and swamp trails.
