The railing on this bridge is quite low so exercise caution if bringing kids or pets along. The view is lovely, of course. Traffic does not stop and only slows down so be very careful. The wind picked up while we were in the middle of the bridge. The road leading up to it is beautiful, but most of the leaves are gone by now.
I only know the first 50 miles or so on the Nashville end, and it is beautifully organised. You can drive for long stretches and barely know civilization is around. Perfectly maintained even with modest current budgets. People you meet are nice. Very popular with cyclists and motorcycles. Plenty of deer and wild turkeys. Beautiful views from the Natchez Trace bridge also.
Beautiful scenery off the bridge and nearby lookout spots. This is part of a National Parkway that has 400+ miles of scenic gorgeousness from Mississippi to just south of Nashville. Excited to get back to drive (or bike!) for longer stretches. Highly recommend!
This is an awesome place for an absolute stunning view. One should be cautious while walking or driving in the bridge as there are no pedestrian lines and many people stop to take photos. Also, Be careful if you are walking with kids.
Make sure to walk to the little overlook spot right off the parking lot. You can get an amazing view of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. If you choose to walk along the bridge, you need to know that you will be very close to the cars driving on the bridge. It is not a pedestrian bridge, so just be prepared and be aware. The views are stunning, so it is well worth the walk across the bridge.
What a bridge! What a locale! Definitely one of the favorite most things Ive ever done in the US. Its super close to Nashville. It falls on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Once here, you get breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and countryside. If you look down, you can see a country highway pass. Occasionally, youll see a school bus stop and kids get out. Just a mesmerizing experience. Highly recommended.
Very lovely view here with a nice parking area located just off the side of the bridge. There is ample shoulder area on the side of the road for onlookers to walk out safely, and for my time there everyone that passed by would travel considerably slow both for there viewing pleasures as well as to keep watch for any little ones that were enjoying the view with family and friends. Please keep in mind this is an active road way with plenty vehicle, bike and pedestrian traffic so be courteous and ensure to stay out of the road for your safety and everyone elses!If your in the area, this is a wonderful spot to check out!!
Beautiful views from the top and road parking area below. There is no sidewalk to separate pedestrians from the road and cars often don’t slow down, but because the guardrail at the side of the bridge is so short, you can’t really safely keep your distance from the traffic lanes, either. Please be careful, especially with children.
Great engineering example and a fascinating bridge to investigate. I really enjoyed the view from the overlook. A must stop on the Trace.
Lovely trail with lots of historical information. Any quiet spots to.stop and just.settle in for a moment.
It was absolutely beautiful there. I saw a young doe right by the side of the road and it had no fear
The views and fall colours from this bridge is breathtaking.
Very cool structure (actually more impressive than I was expecting) and a very nice, scenic setting. Definitely worth the trip if you live in or around Tennessee. I also saw something that... well, I will just say that it spooked me and person I was with. I really questioned whether I should add this to the review because it sounds strange and I don’t really believe in ghosts, but the experience definitely made the trip more interesting.
Compared to most of the motorcycle riding around Nashville, this was a pleasant surprise. A few twist and turns but mostly just enjoyed riding at slower speeds with very little traffic.
Amazing colors during fall. Peacefully green during Spring, love the place.
Ive been taking my daughter here since she was little girl. Very Blessed to still share this magical place!
Love the view, great place to take a little relax time walk.
We drove the Natchez Trace from Nashville which is a great drive. This bridge is impressive and worth seeing.
Very nice bridge with amazing views of Natchez Trace and beautiful, scenic Tennessee. Highly recommend coming and taking some photos on the large shoulders of the bridge. I do think that the guard rails are too low though, they careful come on to mid-thigh and should be a little higher.
This is a nice place to see a cool bridge.
Beautiful calm views. The have a little spot to park!
It is really worth it to visitDont miss it
Great on the bike started here to nachez beautiful riding!
Excellent place to take photos, it has a spectacular view.
Its a great scenic place. Youll also find, these days, too many folks not wearing masks. My suggestion, let the storm pass and then visit.
Not a great number of parking spaces here at the base of the bridge or at both ends. Nevertheless, the view from the bridge is absolutely beautiful regardless of the season. It definitely gets more crowded with warmer weather.Be careful as you walk along the bridge as the railing is extremely short, only 35 inches tall, and it could get dangerous on a windy day. All in all, the bridge is a beautiful part of the Natchez Trace.
Cool bridge and view. Walked across and took some shots. Also take a quick walk under from the side. Pretty neat.
Beautiful bridge, great view
The view from this bridge is phenomenal. Its a great place to watch a sunset or look at the stars at night. To get the best view, park at the parking lot near the bridge on the north side. Walk back across the bridge about 1/3 of the way just over the road below.
Fantastic view from the bridge. We walked across the bridge and witnessed beautiful sunset.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful.
It will be great to visit early morning to feel the freshness..
Pretty area, nice views & great photo spot in Tennessee.
A staple of Tennessee- gorgeous views.
The entire Natchez Trace is absolutely beautiful !!! Love the ride on the bikes through there.
Great views at sunset and moonrise and sunrise too.
Natchez Trace parkway is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking places youll ever seen in your life I highly recommend you check it out. I remember as a kid, my brother, my neighbors and I would all go down there as it was being built soon as they left for the day, and we would walk up half the heart until it got built all the way to the top! Then we would slide down the arch! It may sound scary but its not because its actually about 25 ft wide. we would walk up the arch and into the little space that you see underneath the road of the bridge and over the arch there is a gap there that is about 6 ft tall. And I definitely wouldnt recommend doing that right now because of all of the mortality writings and horrible things that have happened there. If anyone needs help please pickup a phone and call for it. Theres one last chance on.each end of the bridge now and yet people arestill complaining more and more about how short the railing was built into the bridge well that was almost two decades ago or moreand by now theres no way of fixing that so all we can do is ask our state representative in our district to have a team come out and weld a fence on high enough to catch anyone. but if you have your mind set on jumping off of that bridge then theres no changing them.period! Thats the hold that drugs can have on the human brain.
Great view. Beautiful pictures. Especially like photo bombs from bicyclists!
Beautiful. Great place to tide bikes.
Nice place to watch the sunset, but the low guard rails on the bridge or a little unnerving.
Such a beautiful and peaceful place.
Amazing view from the bridge! Nice to see loads of people out enjoying the beautiful world!
Great picture taking spot on the Trace.
Top place on the Natchez Parkway to stop and walk out on the bridge. Excellent views but watch out for passing traffic. Police observed in the area catching speeders.
Love the views, hikes, and peaceful atmosphere.
A nice quiet relaxing drive with nature!
What a beautiful spot to visit! Highly recommend everyone going at least once!
Awesome but scary....
Beautiful!
This is one of our FAVORITE places to visit!!
What a beautiful place to hike.
Its beautiful from up here but the rails have some harsh words on them. Wish they would paint or sand it down a little to erase the words on there.
The view from the bridge is awesome
A beautiful peaceful drive with lots of interesting stops along the way
Fantastic experience, beautiful views
Great riding road if youre on a motorcycle
The bridge is incredible! At the end of the trace.
This bridge arcs downwards and has incredible views!Overcast skies lent a veil of romance.Very picturesque.
Beautiful place to be in contact with nature
Must do cant beat the price rake you time and enjoy the ride.
A great spot to stop and take a look around on the bike. One of my favorite memories!
The view from the top of the bridge is just amazing. Just seeing miles of green rolling hills to the horizon. Sunset is beautiful from this bridge. The bridge itself is pretty nice and it is pretty massive. Driving under it, it makes you feel like a little ant or something.This place is both beautiful and kinda scary at the same time. Looking over the edge was a little unnerving for me. Its a... its a fair ways down. And no real barriers. Just a pretty short guardrail that you could very very very easily climb over. I can easily see why its pretty much become the local suicide bridge.
I loved it! Spent it with a very special person I care about. Its so beautiful...
Heaven in earth.
Beautiful place especially with the leaves changing colors in the Fall. Amazing view from the bridge as well. Saw several deer on the drive to the bridge. Such a sad history though.
Very lovely place
So beautiful. Take a drive down Natchez Trace for awhile during these weird times.
Amazing bridge to visit!
Super cool views, bummer about the people that have jumped from it tho.
This place is awesome to visit and walk around. Views are beautiful and breath taking.There is parking spot for few cars and there is Timberland park a mile from the bridge.Bridge itself is solid and nicely built, got such an elevation, the view on either side of the bridge is phenomenal.Great place to stop over or for a quick drive!
It is a bridge with a view.. Nothing more. It is famous because it is a copy of some bridge un some Scandinavian country and because a few people per year decide this is a good place to do the end it all jump from.
Beautiful view, and a little scary looking over the low ledge on the sides.
What a great architectural bridge
Always a pretty view from the top and bottom.
Good place to visit to watch the fall colors. The bridge has interesting architecture. Not far from Nashville.
Its just beautiful! Very peaceful.
If you are nearby or passing thru, just dont forget to stop here. Nice bridge. You can walk across and get some good photos.
Breathtaking views agreed!
This bridge is massive! It was impressive to just be around it. I definitely suggest seeing it from both viewing locations because it’s just beautiful from every angle.
Near to historical city Franklin, this is good point to view fall colors on hills around..
Beautiful bridge. Good place for photo as you begin or end the trip.
If you want to walk across the bridge beware of the bee nests every 5 feet. Beautiful place and the hiking trails right up the street made it even better
Its a bridge
Cool bridge
