A section of right of way has been converted in southern Mississippi. 47 miles in length. The State of Mississippi now owns the right of way. It is a section of abandoned Illinois Central track. Funding was through state and federal funds. The second phase of the construction project included five restroom facilities along the path, with the headquarters building located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The headquarters building includes a leased space that is leased to a bicycle shop. It also has space for private or civic organizations in the form a meeting room with projection equipment for meetings. <br /> <br />It has been very successful in the 2 years that it has been open. Further construction to the east is scheduled with an overpass over US Highway 49. No time frame on that phase of the project. My Boy Scout troop bicycled the trail back in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. <br />
