North Tank Trail

North Tank Trail is a well-maintained gravel road that borders the north edge of the Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center, a facility operated by the Mississippi National Guard. When driving the road, it is not always intuitive which route to take when coming to an intersection. North Tank Trail generally travels east and west, and forest service signs identifying the route number can be hard to find at some intersections. The military base uses this area of the national forest for training activities. Warning signs throughout the area advise of the need to remain alert for unexploded munitions. Visitors should remain on the roadway or in designated recreation areas. During military training, North Tank Trail and other nearby forest roads are occasionally closed. Information about road closures is available from the Camp Shelby Control Center. Camping is not allowed along North Tank Trail.
