- Mississippi Petrified Forest | Inexpensive Hidden Treasure In The Hospitality State
Did you know that the state of Mississippi has a hidden gem that might be a little unexpected? The Mississippi Petrified Forest is a wonderful place where you can roam amidst fallen giants of the past and learn about how waters once swelled over lands and brought these huge pieces to an area just north of Jackson.

I love rocks, minerals and gems. I took my kids to the local mineral and gem shows, mainly for the fossils, but my 15 yr old fell in love with fluorescent rocks. She became the youngest member of the Fluorescent Mineral Society at 15 yrs old, and filled a display case with her collection at several shows. Made me proud, and as a teenager, she was rubbing elbows with USGS geologists, PhDs, Lawrence Livermore Lab researchers, and computer scientists from Berkeley. Not that she profited financially, but it was pleasing to see her interacting with brilliant minds to ponder the wonders of the earth.
That is pretty cool! I think that a lot of us are impacted by the things that we do when we are younger and I know for a fact that because my family introduced me to historic markers and different things that didn’t cost a lot of money but could be interesting things to find that really sparked my sense of enjoyment of those items that I still share with people today here on my channel.
Had no idea there was a petrified forest in Mississippi. Bunny, you are an awesome tour guide.
This comment right here is exactly why I go to the places that I do! There are so many places that we have no idea even exist so sharing them all allows us all to figure out different places we might be interested in going. This is why I started my channel so that we could share these kinds of things so that hopefully more people could discover really cool things out there in our world around us.
Yea, if she'd say where it is
Mississippi born and raised and have never been here. I have lived just minutes away from it since 1991. I did not realize it is like it is. I will definitely be going in the very near future. Thanks for going and showing! 👍🏻
Bunny, This is so cool! Thanks for mentioning the handicap accessibility part. I'll be traveling with my elderly mom and it's been tough to find outdoor places she would enjoy. Perfect.
I tried to do that as frequently as possible because I know a lot of people are trying to get out there and live life more fully however they might not be able to go on certain kinds of trails so I try to give an overview when possible
@@BunnyPlaysHere I try to watch as many of your vids as possible, apologize that I'm not able to contribute.
This is the first time I've heard of a petrified forest within a living forest. I would want to visit here for sure. Looks like you three are having a great time together!
Absolutely! It’s super fun to go and discover these kinds of things in different states… Sometimes the things we don’t think about being present are the most fascinating when we find them and that was the case with this one so I’m glad that I could share share this with everyone else
Fascinating
It was definitely a super cool place. Highly recommend.
Wow now I can feel good about my self at my age ! I don't so old , just a little petrified !🤣😁😢😂
Lightly petrified!! lol
This is a perfect day trip for those who find themselves in the area. Bring your imagination and thinking caps. Plus it is a beautiful forest outside of the petrified woods.
Bunny, I enjoy watching your videos and I learn so much about the sites around the country. I have been making a bucket list of places to visit when I get on the road next year. You put so much thought and effort into your videos; The enthusiasm for bringing us the history and stories about these places. You and Riley are having a wonderful adventure together. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us.
Thank you!❤
Kathy
I love that you are making your own bucket list!!! I love doing that myself and find that as I add there are always new places I discover and so because of that the world is one big adventure!!!! That is what keeps me going personally!!! I am sooo excited to share what we have coming next some brain wrinkles for sure but also some amazing beauty and nature!!!!
Really love these videos from you.
Thank you!! I have some great places Riley and I have found coming up you will also love!!!
What an awesome place. Thanks for taking us there.
So welcome!!! I think everyone would enjoy places like these!!!
@@BunnyPlaysHere I know I do.
❤ Good Morning 🌄🌞 Bunny 🌅 Awsome Forest👍 Good Exercise,Fresh Air, History 👍👌✌️🤞🙌🙏🌟🇺🇲🌻🤩
Good morning!
That was great!!
Such a cool place to visit very unexpected
🩷✨️my 2nd home❣️🤣 I just love it here✨️🩷
I had no idea this was in Mississippi..i will be looking into this place..thanks for posting
Yes!!! we found this and were like OH WOW we must share!!!
@@BunnyPlaysHere thank you
Wow wow wow. How amazing. Thankyou ❤
Hello bunny, enjoy all the interesting places you show.!!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
So glad you are enjoying all of the interesting places I love finding strange, obscure, interesting, and unique
My mother and I just took a trip up the Natchez Trace and visited alot of the things you are seeing. I know there were several campgrounds along it. It was a nice drive with layers and layers of history. I wondered if you had considered it?
Thanks for sharing.😊
Such a cool history video! Great as usual! Thanks, Bunny!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad to get to share these kinds of places because a lot of people don’t know that they even are out there and so the people who get to find these and go now will have a wonderful experience and I’m hoping that by introducing these kinds of experiences that eventually more people will start to seek them out as well
Such a beautiful place. I watched twice. 😊
It really is such a beautiful place. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! We really had a good time here.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
We went to the Mississippi River museum in Dubuque it was such a cool experience and we would definitely go back again mainly because we we didn't know there was more than one building to walk through and my little girl was almost 2 then and now she's almost 7 and would remember the trip
That is a great suggestion for a few future journey! Thank you so much for sharing this. I like to always add to my list.
@@BunnyPlaysHere I have a few Wisconsin trip magazines for you and some other stuff just gotta mail it to ya
This place is on my radar to go see this fall. Thanks for the video. Did u stay at the campground? I have a class b and was going to stay there too.
There is a natural museum in jackson. It's free and really nice.
I am absolutely jealous I would love to go there wow!!❤
Thanks a million for the brain wrinkles ! That one's on my wish list !
So glad that you enjoyed the brain wrinkles! This was such a cool place
Renee and Leo- Love you from Albuquerque NM...
Great place. I've been there a couple of times even camped there. lots of petrified wood in ditches around the area.
I didn't know Mississippi had a petrified forest. 😊
I am so glad that I got to share this one with everyone. A lot of people don’t know that this exists and it’s such a cool place that I’m so glad that now more people might go and visit.
This is cool. I fish at a lake in Mississippi that is an underwater petrified forest. Lake Okissa. A dam was built and they flooded the valley and left all the trees standing. It’s 80ft deep in some places and the tree tops are right at the surface. There are actually many of them but Okissa is my favorite.
There is petrified wood in Wisconsin as well.
That sounds fascinating! Do they have a specific location that you can go to to view it? I will add it to my list if possible.
@@BunnyPlaysHere I read the site information and I was under the wrong impression. It is actually rock that looks like petrified wood. How odd is that? It’s called Petrifiying Spring County Park in Kenosha County Wisconsin. I was disappointed to learn this.
It's fascinating to think that the petrified "rock" trees could be moved or wash around by moving currents of water. They don't float very well, so there must have been a LOT of water to move them to their current 🤔 location! Amazing sites and the glory of nature can be found wherever you are, so take the time to check it out. Planning a trip to revisit Pinnacles National Monument in CA soon, with caves and ancient volcanic tubes that have been exposed by erosion, leaving tall columns of lava rock to climb and admire. It also provides clues to other geological phenomenon that are relevant to our current experience , like earthquakes and geothermal energy. 😍
Absolutely that’s one of the more interesting things that I find about places like this just to imagine the world looking so different that things like this could be floated around or washed around is incredible. Especially considering how far we are away from the coast or any flowing river at this location
Hello. Have you visited the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson? Also, have you visited other natural history museums in the US before?
I didn't catch the one in Jackson as we were there only shortly.. but I have an entire museum playlist with tons of great museums from around the country!!!
❤
😘😘😘😘
Devil Tower is also a petrified tree stump.
So is Angel Falls.
So is the Garden of The gods.
Actually, Deville’s tower is volcanic rock. I’ve been there before and when I visited, I read extensively about it and it’s an old lava tube that came up out of the ground according to everything that they have to say.
Is Riley's Back better ?😢
She has been having a few issues on and off while on the road, but for the most part yes she is doing OK. We had to integrate more stretching into our days.
Do they know what species of tree are the petrified ones?
That’s a super good question they did not mention the species of tree to my knowledge, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t miss something somewhere. There’s always more to discover.
Omg..Riley..did you fall? What happened to your back?
She has just been having a little bit of an issue with it. She tweaked it a little bit probably because she was on the road for so long or didn’t take enough stretch breaks or even might’ve moved wrong. She’s not exactly sure but she is OK.
@@BunnyPlaysHere thank you..glad to hear she's OK. STAY safe!
I have touched ten million year old ice....
Yes i really did...
Probably been there since the flood
potentially
Imfromflora all the wood is shipped in and placed there it's not a actual forest that petrified there
You didn't even say where it's located.
it is the mississippi petrified forest just north of jackson a bit... usually i give the title so it can be googled
@@BunnyPlaysHere thank you
It's crazy to see "grown" people coloring their hair and styling it like teenagers. At some point you should go work with a real quality counselor who can take you through the trauma and get you healed, so that you can stop trying to change the way you look to fix the inside of your broken soul. It doesn't work. It only makes a large portion of society look at you like you're a childish, damaged, immature brat of an adult. You can say you don't care but, if or when you meet people that you really need to interact well with, and the way you look is so off-putting to them that you lose that opportunity to know that person personally. Those types of people are the ones who can help you really advance and change your life for the better.
I think that hairstyle shouldn’t be something that equate to lifelong trauma. I think sometimes hair is just hair. And instead of trying to bring someone down by saying nasty things, you should just let hair be hair. Sometimes just because something isn’t something you like doesn’t mean that you need to talk about it. I think it’s really sad that instead of just moving on from this video because it wasn’t of interest because you don’t like my hairstyle you instead took the time out of your day to say nasty things. I feel bad for you that that’s your mentality because you’re really missing out on the bigger picture of life. If you seem to think that everything that you don’t like or you don’t think is OK has to do with something bad for someone else. I have no childhood drama. I have no issues, and I have no problems in my life that equate to why I have the hairstyle that I do. In fact, I have a hair styled. It works well with me as I travel across the country and it’s easy for me to maintain by myself so that I don’t have to necessarily seek out salons across the nation which would lead to a lot of unnecessary spending an a lot of hair trauma. My hair has nothing to do with anything that relates to your life whatsoever. So instead of just watching the video for what it is, you decided to be hyper focused on just that one thing maybe…… You should be the one seeking counseling. Normally, I would not give the time of day to someone like yourself because I think this is asinine. However, I think that more frequently we should realize that if it does not relate to us, maybe we shouldn’t speak on it have the day that you deserve.
Additionally, I think that it’s very very funny that you seem to think that my interactions would be damaged with others because through my travels I’ve actually met a lot of really Amazing people many of which are very important in their fields. I’ve also had numerous opportunities professionally because guess what they really don’t care about my hair they care about the Contant of my character, which is way more important, and I think that if you were to give a moment of listening to anything that I have to say you would understand that I am much more in a floof on top of my head lol. However, I don’t expect you to understand that because clearly you’re hung up in your own issues about judgment. I never learned the golden rule. Do unto to others as you would have them do unto you.
Went here in the 90’s with my son’s school field trip. 🩷
Oh nice!!!!! That would make a pretty cool fieldtrip!!
