Natchez Trace Pkwy Park

I only drove from Natchez to Jackson on the trace. I had a great time. It took about two and a half to three hours. That is with several stops. Aside from the historic aspects, it is a beautiful drive. The only thing I did not care for was that the shoulders of the road were so narrow that you really couldnt pull off at most places. I definitely recommend the trace. I hope the one day make be entire drive.

Beautiful parkway. Loved the ride from end to end!

Some of the most beautiful scenery Ive ever seen!

What a great ride along the NTP

Historical place with a lot of places to stop and enjoy our history and what mother nature has to offer.

Beautiful ride. Be sure to fill up the gas tank You don’t want to stop off until it’s necessary

If youre diving through this region, might as well learn some history along the way. There are Indian mounds, old Inns, a visitor center and more along the Natchez Trail. This is the route traders would ride,walk back north after sailing down the Mississippi to sell goods in Natchez.

Great place for drive Beautiful country and a lot of scenery

An exceptional ride through Tennessee, Alabama and into Mississippi.

One of the most enjoyable and relaxing cruises Ive had in many years. Thanks for the free camping!

Easy to navigate with Historical markers and hiking trails.

I only travel this way. Beautiful and no hurries. Folks dont stop and smell the roses

Havent been there yet just drove by the sign..on my way to. Jackson.. hopefully Ill get there

Great drive. (Nov, 2019)

A great scenic drive down the well maintained Natchez Trace gives me a feeling of traveling in time as i like to visit each historic spot along the way. The Park service does a great job 2 in showcasing each place. Thanks 2 all who made the Trace what it is today.

Absolutely soothing.

Wonderful road trip. Lots of history along this parkway.

Nice place for a relaxing drive.

Excellent ride into Tennessee, old trade road from early settlers and indians,to civil war

A great experience for driving, pedalling or hiking. Many interesting and historic stops along the route.

We spent four days on The Natchez Trace in November of 2018. These are four of the best days of my life. We stopped at every pullout and info sign. The speed limit is 40-50 mph. We chose the lower speed limit. We had set aside four days and we were in no hurry.Such a sense of American history.It teaches me once again what wusses and pansies we are. These people had to walk everywhere they went, something modern man would find difficult.Dont drive The Trace expecting flashy things to see and do. This is a lesson in American History.It was a mistake that we didnt bring along a sack lunch. The restaurants are rarely close to The Trace. Next time we will be eating peanut butter sandwiches rather than driving to the restaurants.Also, there are places where Verizon did not have a signal. But, usually we had some sort of signal.Be very cautious, especially around Tupelo. There are lots of deer in the area. Saw several herds of wild turkeys.We slept at motels in Jackson, Florence, Alabama and Tupelo. We could have done this a lot quicker, but chose to smell the flowers.All the restrooms were immaculate. They had heat, soap, TP and paper towels. It was cold when we were there, so we did not notice if the restrooms had AC.Also, when you drive through Kosciusko, Ms, you might want to pay a visit to Hillside Vineyards. They sell Muscadine Jelly and it is just the best stuff I have ever tasted.We dont remember seeing any stop signs or stop lights on The Trace. May have been a couple around Jackson, but dont remember seeing any.Meriwether Lewis Park, about 50 miles south of Nashville, contains the gravesite of Meriwether Lewis. Thomas Jefferson seemingly had groomed Lewis for the top slot in the corporation. But, Lewis suffered from depression. He just came apart at the seams after the expedition was completed. He likely committed suicide at this location on The Trace. A very sad chapter in our history.The Trace is one of the best things we have ever done.

Just not enough time to truly appreciate and enjoy the Trace

Working hard at this beautiful place

Awesome motorcycle ride

Beautiful

Love it!
