Welcome to Sumrall, Mississippi

WELCOME TO SUMRALL, MS!

Sumrall is a quiet town located 15 miles west of Hattiesburg in the northern part of Lamar County. Lamar County is the second fastest growing county in Mississippi. The town was named after Dan Sumrall, who came to the area after the Civil War. 

As the metropolitan area of Hattiesburg has expanded westward, Sumrall is now once again experiencing economic growth with many new homes and infrastructure being built.

Whether a resident of Sumrall or just someone passing through, it’s hard not to notice Sumrall's small town charm.

Family-friendly Community

Sumrall is a family-friendly community with many parks and recreational areas. Enjoy a picnic or play games of tennis and volleyball at our recently improved Town Park on Rocky Branch Road. The Lions Club Park is also a nearby facility where kids of all ages can play on the playground or romp through the splash pad on hot summer days.

Longleaf Trace

Families can enjoy a nice walk or ride along The Longleaf Trace, a designated National Recreational Trail, beginning in neighboring Hattiesburg and continuing through Sumrall ending 40 miles later in Prentiss.

The Longleaf Trace follows the route of the former Mississippi Central Railroad and runs through the center of town. The Longleaf Trace is popular with bikers, hikers, and horseback riders.

The 24-mile, 15-25-foot-wide native soil equestrian trail located along the Longleaf Trace is recognized as one of South Mississippi’s finest. The little-known jewel is regularly maintained and parallel to the Trace, occasionally crossing from one side to the other due to terrain or other considerations. The trail has a large trailer parking/staging area at its northern end (Carson) that includes 10 horse stalls, a primitive camp area, and a group pavilion. A large trailer parking area is also available at the Sumrall Station. Equestrian stalls, a primitive camp area, and a group pavilion is available at the South end of the equestrian trail at the Ronnie Shows Nature Center.
