Gavin Road, in the De Soto National Forest, is a graded gravel road in a healthy Longleaf Pine forest minutes southeast of Laural, MS. The road is part of the US Forest Service's Gavin Forest Educational Tour, a self-guided drive with interpretive signs along the way that tells about Mississippi's Longleaf Pine ecosystem. The educational tour begins at the intersection of Gavin Road and FR 270. This part of the National Forest uses practices to maintain a healthy forest, providing an environment for robust wildlife and outdoor recreation. The Longleaf Horse Camp is a semi-primitive campground located at Gavin Road (FR213) and Musgrove Road (FR218). There is a minimal fee required to use the campground. The campground, designed for horseback recreation, provides picnic tables, fire rings, and a hitching post at each campsite. Gavin Road and the Longleaf Horse Camp are within the Chickasawhay Wildlife Management Area. Users could have some additional requirements for other recreational uses like fishing, hunting, and hiking.
