An avid SEC football fan, I had never experience the Grove until my daughter began her freshman year at Ole Miss this fall. The Grove is a large serene park in the middle of the University of Mississippi campus. However, for 6-7 Saturdays in the fall, it is the epicenter for some of the biggest parties in the state of Mississippi. You may have tailgated at games other places, but it is truly different here. Even this Gator has to admit, Ole Miss may have perfected the football party. You have to visit the Grove if you are in Oxford but unless it is a fall Saturday, you won't have the full experience.

Reviewed By CharlieB604 - Oxford, United States
Now renamed the South Campus Rail Trail it runs from a gravel parking lot at the end of Chucky Mullins Drive for about 3 miles to a gravel road near Thacker Mountain. Popular trail with walkers, cyclists and runners. No drinking water or toilet facilities. Mile markers every half mile a couple of benches and several exercise stations. Phone service is spotty in parts. Plaque marks where a bridge collapsed and a train was wrecked. Lots of shade on a scenic path.
