Trail Overview

Witch Dance Hill is a scenic, 4.6-mile gravel drive through the Tombigbee National Forest in Mississippi. The well-maintained, flat gravel surface is rated 1 for technical difficulty, making it fully accessible to standard two-wheel-drive vehicles under normal conditions. Winding eastward from County Road 911, the route crosses the Natchez Trace Parkway with minor elevation changes ranging from 355 to 532 feet. Named after local folklore of witches gathering on the hill, the drive passes through dense pine and hardwood forests. It offers easy access to nearby hiking trails, equestrian paths, and the historic Natchez Trace. The route is passable year-round, though wet weather can make the gravel slick.

History

The very name conjures visions of eerie midnights, swirling black capes and brooms stacked against a nearby tree. The old folks say the witches gathered here to dance and wherever their feet touched the ground the grass withered and died never to grow again. Look for a hidden spot where no grass grows.

Well maintained forest service gravel road. There are other similar roads all over the area, not just this specific one. Additionally, there are plenty of side turns offs that lead to narrower and bumpier dirt paths.
