Natchez Trace Parkway
The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 440-mile route that runs from Natchez in southern Mississippi to just south of Nashville, Tennessee. The parkway memorializes Native American paths that some say began as buffalo trails, and which were later used by white settlers to extend their trade. The current two-lane road was begun in the late 1930s and is maintained by the National Park Service.
The Trace offers 15 major interpretive locations, historic sites, camping, and picnic facilities. There are nature trails, portions of the original trace, scenic overlooks, historic monuments, bridges and visitor centers. Ask your bed and breakfast innkeepers if they might be able to pack a picnic lunch for you to take along on your exploration! And return to your bed and breakfast at the end of your afternoon on the road and enjoy wine, popcorn, and relaxation with other bed and breakfast guests.
