Natchez Trace Parkway
Started in the late 1930s, the modern Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444 mile-long, scenic road that generally follows the path of the Old Natchez Trace from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi.
The Old Natchez Trace dates back to the early 1700s when sections were Indian footpaths and animal trails. In the late 1700s through the early 1820s traders from the Middle Tennessee and Kentucky areas ("Kaintuck Boatmen") floated their goods down the Cumberland, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to Natchez and then walked or rode horses up the Trace to return home.
Today, traveling on the Trace can easily be done with a car, truck, RV or motorcycle. Those looking for a more strenuous mode of transportation can peddle a bicycle. Commercial traffic is prohibited.
The maximum speed limit is 50 mph. If driving, please don't speed and always be aware that a bicyclist could be around the next bend of the Trace. State laws require motorists to give at least a 3-foot cushion while passing bicyclists.

Natchez Trace Bed and Breakfast Reservation Service
Taking an overnight trip on the Natchez Trace without advance planning can be somewhat difficult, as the Park Service does not permit any advertising, either in the form of signs or in literature at their visitor's centers.
In the tradition of the inns, or "stands," once found along the Old Natchez Trace, we can help you locate the perfect spots to make your overnight stays a memorable part of your trip. Especially helpful for bicyclists, we can help you plan your itinerary and provide tips passed on from other cyclists as to shuttles, routes, lunch stops, terrain, etc.
We have visited each of the 38 bed and breakfasts located in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
Our assistance is free and when you book rooms through us there is no extra cost to you!
