At nearly 3 miles long, the Thacker Mountain Rail-Trail is a popular spot for hikers, bikers, and joggers. The majority of the trail is flat, but the main trail branches off into a series of steeper, narrower paths that mountain bikers often frequent.

Athletes from the University of Mississippi tend to use the trail for exercise, as well. Several roadways, sidewalks, and bike lanes connect the Thacker Mountain Rail-Trail to a nearby mile-long trail called the Oxford Depot.
