Information for cyclists bicycling from the Tanglefoot Trail to Bodock B&B - Pontotoc, MS.
Bodock B&B is about 15 miles off the Natchez Trace Parkway. The roads connecting Pontotoc to the parkway are not safe roads to bike for that long a distance.
However, the bed and breakfast is only 2 blocks from the popular Tanglefoot Trail® (A 43 mile-long, 10 foot wide, paved "rails to trails" route for bicyclists and walkers.) The Pontotoc Gateway is at milepost 25.1. Cyclists could stay at Bodock and bike south 25 miles on the trail to its southern terminus in Houston, MS OR bike north 18 miles to its northern terminus in New Albany, MS. Or, you could bike "out and back" on the trail to either the south (up to 50 miles) or the north (up to 36 miles) returning to Pontotoc and Bodock B&B.
