OutKick OutDoors picked four hiking spots in and around Oxford for fans heading to this weekend’s Ole Miss-LSU game, framing them as pregame outdoor options.
South Campus Rail Trail is the closest all-purpose choice — a 5-mile round trip by campus with access to more than 20 miles of single-track trails.
Clear Creek Trail at Sardis Lake offers the longest route — a 13-mile loop about 30 minutes from downtown — while Holly Springs National Forest adds a more secluded option across 155,000 acres roughly 65 minutes away.
Lamar Park rounds out the list as the family-friendly stop, a 6-minute drive from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium with a paved, low-intensity loop suited to visitors of varying mobility levels.
The recommendations aim to capitalize on heavy attention around Oxford as two top-10 SEC teams meet and Lane Kiffin returns to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
