Explore Ridgeland, Mississippi
Ridgeland is where small-town charm meets big-city luxury. Outdoor and cycling enthusiasts, foodies, and retail lovers can expect experiences of a lifetime.
Mississippians know Ridgeland as the greatest destination for cyclists in the state, receiving a bronze rating from the League of American Cyclists. When you’re done on two wheels, it’s time to hit the water. Ridgeland is an ideal spot for nature lovers, with over 33,000 acres on offer at Barnett Reservoir, lovingly known to locals as “The Rez.” This is the place to find aquatic activities like boating, fishing, water-skiing, and more.
Visitors are sure to discover that there’s no shortage of art or culture in Ridgeland. The Bill Waller Craft Center has fine art and crafts from over 400 Mississippi and Southeast artisans. Onsite galleries feature works from a wide variety of disciplines, from glass, handcrafted jewelry, quilts, baskets, and wood-turned goods, all of which are available for purchase. The center also hosts events throughout the year, like Snappy Sync Fireflies, as well as several crafting classes.
Foodies may come to Ridgeland hungry, but they always leave full and happy. The city has many—and we mean many—mouthwatering options to choose from. Be it American, Latin, Mediterranean, Italian, Asian, or something more specific. There are plenty of savory steaks at Ely’s, MM Shapley’s, and Koestler Prime, just a few of the locally owned spots that make Ridgeland “the Steakhouse Capital of Mississippi.”
When you’re ready for a bit of retail therapy, you can’t do better than Ridgeland, Mississippi’s premier shopping hub. Explore the streets of the Old World-style Renaissance at Colony Park, The Township at Colony Park or the recently redeveloped Northpark mall. Ridgeland also has tons of independently owned boutiques, galleries, spas, recreational and antique shops throughout the city.
There’s still a lot to uncover here, and the best place to start is exploreRidgeland.com.
