The directions link below drops a pin on the trailhead coordinates and lets Google Maps pick the route. If the drive has rough roads or access issues that GPS nav might get wrong, I cover that in my trip report.

Trip report

Oct 30, 2016 — A flat hike through pretty Mississippi forests, this loop visits one of the more popular parks in the state. Starting at a historic Pioneer Cabin, the Bear Creek Trail leads straight to a parking area where a historic swinging bridge leads across a pretty creek. Across the creek is a Outcroppings Trail, which skirts the edge of some nice rock formations and creates a loop that seems to go nowhere before going back over the bridge. The CCC Camp Trail completes the loop, basically following the park road for much of the trip.
