South Tank Trail

South Tank Trail is a well-maintained gravel road in the De Soto National Forest near New Augusta, MS. The road provides access to most of the small arms training ranges for Camp Shelby, a joint forces training facility operated by the Mississippi National Guard. 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. South Tank Trail and other nearby forest roads occasionally close during military training. Information about road closures is available from the Camp Shelby Control Center. Camping along South Tank Trail is not allowed.
