About This Route

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is just 13 miles north of Memphis, but it feels like another world entirely. The park features mature Bald Cypress trees and Tupelo swamp, as well as a rollercoaster of roads that wind through the wooded landscape along the Mississippi River. Most of the park sits atop the Chickasaw Bluffs that rise up from the river bottomlands and are covered with large oak trees. Although the mileage and total elevation gain are relatively low, this route packs a punch with multiple short but very steep climbs, the majority of which have grades in the mid-teens.
